NEW MMOC LP "BEAT A DEAD HORSE" OUT JULY 24TH!  (MMOC BLOG #81)

5/17/2026

0 Comments

 
Our new album will finally be available on just about every download and streaming platform, as well as on vinyl and CD on Friday, July 24th!  Stay tuned for much more info as this is a big one for us, but for now I'm including the lyrics for all of the songs.  We weren't able to include them in the package this time, so here they are.
 
Thank you to engineers Brad Lauchert, Mike Bridges, and Joey Bastian of GCR Audio and Mammoth Recording Studio in Buffalo, NY for helping power us through this one.  And also to Kevin Kurecki for his awesome artwork.  I need to mention several more thank you's so there will be more to come.  We finished the tracking off at my home recording studio, and we hope this one is your favorite yet!

Castles They Live In
They come from California
And no one tried to warn you
About their record deal 

Their boss lives in a hotel
He stays on your money
Until your album’s done

When they ask you to go but they don’t tell you where
and when are they just gonna free you?
When the spineless show the castles they live in
and when are they just gonna free you?
Won’t you please?

What to do now
I’ve learned all about it
The engineer told me

They came from Pennsylvania
They couldn’t quite explain you
Until they come undone
When they ask you to go but they don’t tell you where
and when are they just gonna free you?
When the spineless show the castles they live in
and when are they just gonna free you?
Won’t you please?

Walkin’ Tonight
Can’t make it alone
This train travels on
A whirlwind of people
With dreams dashed and gone

Walkin’ tonight
In the city
Want you tonight
In the city
It’s strange being ‘round without you

I heard someone calling
A spirit in my mind
A bus nearly clipped me
Can’t make it on time
And I couldn’t do

I Wrote A Letter To You
I wrote a letter to you
About the things that you do
And so far in this love
I wrote a letter to you

So what I’d say for myself
Regarding how hard I’m trying
And up to this point I am
I wrote a letter to you

And then they take you to the bar one night
But there’s no one there to see
When you finally make it through your life (the light)
And your old favorite song is playing
But it’s not the same

I wrote a letter to you
Expressing all that you’ve done
And from this day on my one
I wrote a letter to you

On The Rooftop
Went on back to the
Place where I grew up
Someone had gone through
Either blown down or blew up
Everything and reason
To go there in the first place
Seemed that it no longer
Would be my place

Can’t stop another
Can’t watch another
Let’s just try and make it right together
Can’t stop another
Can’t watch another
Let’s just try and make it right together

Went on back to the
Old shop downtown
I used the place when I was
Burned out and down
I asked the old lady working
Where is my friend, please
On the rooftop, losing
His sanity

In The Morning
Until today it was
Any other day
You end up later on thinking
In the morning

Crawlin’ out of your little doom
And stop pacing through every room
A sure fire way
In the morning

Was myself before I’d be
But no one knew it was me
Was myself before I’d be
But no one knew it was me

Don’t lock the dreams away
They’ll come back another day
Like a violet in bloom
In the morning

I Wanted To Be Like You
Rolling up with a shake weight
Outside the window
Been flying down the road a bit too fast
Already set up shop
Down out the sports bar
Gonna make this long weekend last

I wanted to be like you
I wanted to be…
I wanted to be like you
Something else about it to see

Many years have gone by
Your input’s still the same
Don’t make it to Coudy anymore
Running out of patience
But not for our Buffalo Bills
Missing seeing you and what's in store


Please Don’t Go 
Girl I spotted you from a mile away
Such a same that you don’t think you can stay

Can’t take it don’t you know
Ooh baby baby, please don’t go

Got a hold on me, girl I can’t shake
It’s getting to be too much to take

Girl I promise you won’t shed a tear
As long as you can tell me what I wanna hear
 
Come Back, Man!
The place where nothing’s wrong
Won’t ever be the same
It all comes undone 
with everything

Wanted to look away
But I found nothing was real and

Things that won’t change
They won’t matter anymore
 
Come back, man
Wanna meet you where I am, and we’ll
Come back, man
Wanna see you again
 
Come on and look out
Nothing’s wrong when it’s changing
Things that weren’t true
yesterday remain
Harbingers of peace
Desperate from before
 
Things that won't change
They won't matter anymore

 
Strumming Up The River
One day me and baby
Went for a ride in our canoe
Seemed no other world
Could come between us two

We’d do anything 
To fight against the brews
And we’d go strummin’ up the river
With the baby blues

As the night approached
Upon the riverflow
It seemed my baby slipped
Into the undertow
 
We'd do anything
To fight and not to lose
Strummin' up the river
With the baby blues
