Nothing to see. Nothing to do. Nothing for me. Nothing for you... Now and then, we wander from our straight lines. You've seen him colour past the outlines. Their hearts, with the best intentions. One mind: breaking from conventions. CH) Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes you just fall down. Doesn't matter either way. Pick yourself up off the ground. Stuck in a hole. Sucking my soul. Fight with my voice. Make my own choice. Gonna see what I can't see inside here. Overcoming moments frozen by fear. With the sun on my back, I will not burn! With the wind in my face, I will not turn! CH) Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes you just fall down. Doesn't matter either way. Pick yourself up off the ground. Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes you just fall down. Doesn't matter either way. Pick yourself up off the ground. Something to see. Something to do. Something for me. Something for you... Defining moments by our actions. Hallmark starts quoting from your captions. Providing voices for the voiceless. Realizing uses for the useless... CH) Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes you just fall down. Doesn't matter either way. Pick yourself up off the ground. Sometimes you fall in love. Sometimes you just fall down. Doesn't matter either way. Pick yourself up off the ground.

Hitch a ride on a southbound train. Time to think about changing my name. Want a fresh start somewhere, People really don't seem to care. Gonna do what's best for me. Move on and let it be. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Woke up and I don't know how, Ended up where I am now. Warning signs on the road behind, Too late to change my mind. Wanna feel what I haven't felt, With the cards that I've been dealt. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Full moon and it's time to go, 'Fore the fever lays me low. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak. Headin' off a heartbreak.

Slow Riot 04:23
Sometimes we just want what's BAD, you know? Not that we don't want the good things though... Bad things are sexy and new. Good things remind us of truth. Falling on our knees we sing the blues: I still want you. I still want you. A fire inside has now gone out. Couldn't keep it lit without some doubt. Don't care what others think now. Underground kitchen know-how. Anger gets your best and then you lose: I still want you. I still want you. One more time with feeling… One more time with feeling… One more time with feeling… One more time with feeling… Self reflection shows him what he fears. Drowning out the doubt with pills and beers. Deepening the wedge between his girls. Lost his sense of place in this world. Heart so big, it's all that he once knew: I still want you. I still want you. I still want you. I still want you...

Heart Burns 04:21
Every day it seems the same. Look to the sky and you get rain. If only he'd thought to bring an umbrella... Inner diamond wants to shine. Tough exterior to mine. Indecision frozen like winter... Can't get out of his own way. Needs a change from day to day. I want to BE everything that I can be. I want to SEE, the world that she'll show me. I want to know what it's like to fall in love! Every night she sleeps alone. Tries to make her house a home. Blankets, dogs, and bottles of wine... Seeking clarity to find. What is always on her mind. Expressions of love: reciprocated... Can't get out of her own way. Needs a change from day to day. I want to BE everything that I can be. I want to SEE, the world that he'll show me. I want to know what it's like to fall in love! I want to GO everywhere there is to go. I want to LEARN, every way to grow. I want to know what it's like to fall in love! When this is over, I will be bolder... Everything ages, all that remains is... When this is over, I will be bolder... Everything ages, all that remains is... I want to BE everything that I can be. I want to SEE, the world that she'll show me. I want to know what it's like to fall in love! I want to GO everywhere there is to go. I want to LEARN, every way to grow. I want to know what it's like to fall in love!

Unicorn Derby spawned from Square Cat Vinyl's 2nd Annual Random Band Challenge. We were drawn out of a hat together, along with rhythm-ace Johnny Concannon, in January 2017. We met, hung out, created music & liked each other. That chemistry helped us win the vote of the audience & judges of the experiment, in March 2017.

This E.P. is dedicated to all the other 'random bands' we met along the journey: The 1923, The Ocho, Wolf and The Wereboys, Papa Warfleigh's Funk Revival, Time Travel Bucket List, The Caped Canaverals, Fever Flush, Divided House Band, The Hipcoustic Movement & Band #9.
