lyrics

So you’re finally coping with stress
You can never avoid all the stress
Starts in the morning when you’re late for work
it builds right into the night
But you can learn that there are danger signs
And you can learn that there are danger times
You better think about another way
Don’t let the tension go and ruin your day

Do minor problems throw you into a tither?
And are you feeling trapped right now?
Sometimes I try and hide it and sometimes I try and run from
Anxiety, it’s an ever constant moving world
It’s an always ever turning world
But don’t let it get you down
Destructive stress, trying hard to turn to distress
Trying hard to make it rough to rest
But you can turn it all around
Go burn it up

Let’s go and manufacture a crisis
I want some adrenaline
Manufacture a crisis
I need some adrenaline

So you’re finally coping with stress
You can never avoid all the stress
Add up the burdens and calculate strains till all you can feel is the pain
You better learn to see the danger signs
So you can ward off all the hazard times
You ought to try to ease some mental weight
I think you better lose some excess freight
Do minor problems throw you into a tither?
And are you feeling trapped right now
Sometimes I try to hide it and sometimes I try to run from
Anxiety, it’s an oscillating, weaving world
It’s an always drifting, winding world
But don’t let it get you down
Destructive stress, trying hard to turn to distress
Trying hard to make it tough to rest
You can turn it all around
So burn it up

(Gregor)

Next Exit Seattle, Washington

In 1981 Sweet Madness ditched Spokane for Seattle and changed their name to Next Exit.

The new lineup featured a more guitar-driven sound, with lead guitarist Greg Morlan replacing keyboardist John Robison.

For their first live show, they played at a Drive-In Movie Theater on the roof of the concession stand.

Static Cling was the first song they wrote with the new lineup. ... more
