lyrics

____________

Up In Smoke:

Remember it, you done me wrong, ya
Just another hit in your little bong, ya

You took my heart and lit it on fire
It turned to smoke and the flames went higher

Got to cut you loose got to sever the ties
Cause you smoke the truth like a pack of lies

You took our love and you lit it up
It turned to smoke but it’s not enough
All my hopes...gone up in smoke

You lie about everything... blowin’ your smoke rings
What you trying to be... Smoke in my eyes so I cannot see
That your were running... running out on me

What a mess but you got your charms, ya
But who’d of guessed you could cause so much harm,ya

You took my heart and lit it on fire
It started to smoke and the flames went higher
You took our love and you lit it up
It turned to smoke but it’s not enough
baby all my hopes... gone up in smoke

The Vanrays Vancouver, British Columbia

EastVan Soul:
It's a Motown beat down in a shark skin suit. It's wailing like its gospel while they're laying in the boots. It's a curb stomping rhythm on the corner of control. It's a nod in the direction, when all the shoes had leather souls. And to when those shoes were twisting, to Otis and to James. And so now do, The Vanrays too, we are here to do the same. ... more
