STEPPING OUT 04:17
I don’t want to live like this no more Time running out, my hour glass is shattered on the floor Make no excuses, leave no doubts Time marches on if you’re not there the bus will leave without you You’re still the same Wheels are spinning, getting nowhere, I’m to blame I said before When I’m gone… I’m gone I won’t be back for more Still breathing, everything’s alright I’ve washed ashore, a message in a bottle, wrapped up tight Open me up, and pour me out Clean the slate, a new beginning, and I’m stepping out
2.
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna stay I don’t wanna be me standing in the way Say the word… disappear… far away from here On the outside, never looking back Busted rear view, running off the track Train derailed, all alone Shaking off the cold I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know what I’m doing here I don’t know why, I don’t know why I don’t know why, I don’t know The more things change the more things stay the same Getting nowhere, running out of gas This is critical, you’re a heart attack Under your thumb, patiently Agree to disagree Falling faster, talking in your sleep Friends are curious, I’m in trouble deep I’m on fire, fan the flames Surely, I’m to blame
3.
Last night I went walking, just to clear my head Under the stars, analyzing every word you said In the distance, see a flashing light It gets closer… now it’s got me hypnotized Metallic, flying, object hovers over me I turn to run, grabs me with it’s tractor beam Before I can blink, I find myself inside Tied to a metal slab, they take me on a midnite ride I remember walking, thinking everything is gonna change I remember craters on the moon I remember walking with my new friends feeling safe & sound I remember walking on the moon Surprisingly friendly, talking to me Know what I’m thinking… I don’t have to say I thing We’ll live off of Moon Pies, Starburst too I’m never gonna go back, Can’t I stay up here with you? Next time I go walking, I’ll look to the stars Look for my friends above Out past the Milky way, and Mars Sometimes wonder, do they think of me? Lost in the stratosphere… I’ll be waiting patiently
4.
Spend my days in solitary, In this castle all alone With other freaks and monsters, nothing quite like me Help me make this house a home Somethings wrong, doctor! doctor! Won’t you give me something Something for the pain this hole inside my heart is aching Girl with hair of white, skin as cold as mid December With your hands, won’t you make me a bride On the table, sheer perfection I sure hope there’s chemistry Give her the perfect heart, and eyes so she can see Eyes for no one else but me Need some monster interaction You and me, some time alone Kiss your neck, run my fingers through your hair I’ll massage your electrodes

BULLET PROOF 03:46
I woke up in a crowded room I’m all alone except for you These ghosts they haunt me in my sleep Exposing secrets I can’t keep For a moment stuck inside my head You turn to run but I’m right there My skeletons escape the closet Run bony fingers through your hair I hope to see you in my dreams Cut my heart out just to hear me scream But you will never know the truth Take it to the grave I’m bullet proof A hall of mirrors, no way out Distorted faces all around More than meets the eye, I’m hiding Guard these secrets with my life
7.
HOURS 04:04
Under your bed, under your breath Eyes closed, you’re all alone I can see you talking in your sleep Every last chance, every last step Make up your mind, don’t keep me waiting long Tell me what’s it gonna be I’m a stone sinking I’m a desert, thirsty, waiting for the rain Tell me time’s not running out Hold me close don’t let go Help me understand what’s going on inside Am I running out of time In your memory, papers crumble Carved in stone, Won’t forget your face Like a ghost you haunt me in my sleep Every last chance, every last step Make up your mind, don’t keep me waiting long Tell me what’s it gonna be
8.
I'LL WAIT 04:09
Cut the cord, leave me high, and dry Throw away the key, nothing left, no in between All alone, falling under, sinking Disconnected, never ending Washed ashore, penniless, and out of reach Run until there’s nothing left, as far as I can see Change your mind, all alone, pretending Your eyes closed, in dark descending I’ll wait, lock me up until I don’t remember Never, never Tell me something, is all of this for nothing Because nothing leads to you Second best, I’m your next in line I’m your fall back spot, Your in between, your left behind In a jar, with no holes, I’m breathing my last breath please someone save me running out, spilling out onto the… time escaping faster, getting older, never lasting close the door, run until there’s nothing please remember… don’t remember
9.
On the floor, the room is spinning, I’m so cold Since you’re gone, I can’t find any other way Losing sleep, eyes so red, my mind erase You let go, and now I’m slipping into space Every time I close my eyes a slideshow Pictures of your ghost they haunt my brain Try to turn it off, but you’re still right there And I’m to blame Falling fast, all used up and thrown away Decaffeinated isn’t real, it’s just a waste In your head, just a token, second best Twist the knife, and now we’ll see if I forget
10.
LEGENDARY 04:30
I walk the streets at night, Looking for a new beginning Someone to break the silence, Reign of terror never ending With surgical precision, I won’t waste any time I’ll find you in the shadows, cut you down, I’ll make you mine Won’t you make me legendary Our names immortalized come rolling off their tongues Won’t you close your eyes, and let me make you legendary Tonight I’ll walk the street with you Me in my coat and hat, a perfect gentleman A monster in disguise, No one knows, I fit right in Well versed, educated, maybe the man next door Mothers, hide your daughters, close your windows, lock your doors

about

Almost two years in the making, SOPHOMORE JINX is here!
One Adam 12 is back, and better than ever!
This is the album you've been waiting for! 10 new, original tracks! All killer.. no filler! This album picks up where 2016's EARWORM left off, and it doesn't stop there!

SOPHOMORE JINX starts strong right out of the gate with STEPPING OUT and THE MORE THINGS CHANGE.

While the songs LEGENDARY, BUILD ME A BRIDE & WALKING ON THE MOON find themselves in familiar territory, touching on the Horror / Sci-fi topics that made EARWORM an instant classic, I'LL WAIT & ANY OTHER WAY push the envelope, and are unlike anything the band has ever recorded.

Lloyd Rummell has penned some of his strongest lyrics to date, and the arrangements by Rummell & Adams are flawless.
The band continues to show growth in both songwriting and musicianship. SOPHOMORE JINX is a well focused, but diverse collection of songs... a throwback to the past, and a nod to the future. One Adam 12 swings for the fences, and does not disappoint on this sophomore effort.
