say that you don't mind
when they look down their nose at us
cause they all live and die
laugh and cry
just like the rest of us
but these people never smile
the way they did back home
but those days have come and gone
my youth is gone and I have grown to have these
deep valley blues
it's going to take me too much time to make my way back home to you
and you know it ain't the distance honey it's the altitude
i got them deep valley blues
call it like you see it
cause it is what it is
so many miles away from old st. lou almost forgot it exist
and i keep spending more than i make
and i can hardly pay this rent
a vicious cycle that's been burning
and it's burning from both ends i got these
deep valley blues
it's going to take me too much time to make my way back home to you
and you know it ain't the distance honey it's the altitude
i got them deep valley blues
alright
deep valley blues
it's going to take me too much time to make my way back home to you
and you know it ain't the distance honey it's the altitude
i got them deep valley blues
i got them deep valley blues
i got them deep san fernando valley blues

Lost In August

there was nothing in our drinks
but the ice and rye whiskey
and there was nothin up our sleeves
but our elevated heart beats
we were lost
in august
we were as native as the palms
no one cared where we came from
where are still here and its now
but we wont forget how it all went down
we were lost
in august
when you look dont look back
because there aint nothin left
except those motel 6 beds
and them floral print spreads
we were lost
in august
so lost
in august
in august
in august

It was margarita monday down at the Cha Cha Lounge
I stumbled in alone. Not one familiar face in the house,
and i was fading, like the ice in my drink.
some version of myself, just watered down and not quite as sweet
There ain't no use in hiding it
I was outrunning all common sense
no on gets that drunk on accident
A high millage heart
all wrecked and totaled out
I was ready to buckle under
until i saw her moving through that crowd.
I thought I didn't need saving but
she proved me wrong.
Cause when she wrote down that number
It may as well said "911"
There ain't no use in hiding it
I was outrunning all common sense
That's just when I caught my second wind
and in this city of angels you are
the only one I've met
call me a holy roller cause I
am born again
Hallelujah a-fuckin-men
There ain't no use in hiding it
I was outrunning all common sense
That's just when
That's just when
That's just when I caught my second wind

quick-stop corner store
poison every night
they just see one side of me
the anxious and uptight
two more airline shots
walking towards the train
sugar, bring me back to life
and i'll be on my way
to hollywood, hollywood
hollywood, hollywood
hey man where ya from?
where ya stay?
why ya here?
we answer the questions
and disperse, disappear
things are just the way they are
it ain't wrong or right
we ain't friends or enemies
cause we ain't got the time
in hollywood, hollywood
hollywood, hollywood
i dont know what ails you
but i could empathize
cause we found california
but it's far from paradise
in hollywood, hollywood
hollywood, hollywood

bet you think i liked it
saw me standing there
bet you think i planned it out, everything i did
bet you think this pistol
is what did him in
but you think i'm so sick
for everything i did
everything i did
everything i did
bet you think i liked it
everything i did
bet you think i'm so sick
that i deserve the same
bet you think it's fucked up
making him did his own grave
bet you think it shouldn't ever come to this
but you think i liked it
everything i did
everything i did
everything i did
bet you think i liked it
everything i did
bet you never thought you'd see me
turning myself in
bet you thought i'd fight it
until the very end
bet you never thought i'd ever
thought of it again
but i can't seem to shake that night
and everything i did
everything i did
everything i did
bet you think i liked it
everything i did

Bradley Palermo Los Angeles, California
Bradley Palermo & The Shadow Queens released the new "Praise & Worship" LP on Friday October 13th, 2023. It's a dark folk tribute to Satanism, with undertones of distorted guitar leads, punk rock bass guitar, and gritty percussion.
Bradley Palermo recommends:
"Pretty songs about ugly things". Check out this dark folk trio from Vista, CA. They're my good friends, and we even did an EP cover each other's songs
go to album
The one and only Typesetter from Chicago, IL. Their sophomore record is full of artful yet catchy gems. Also, most of this band is involved in someway in my "Shadow Queens" releases.
