Hello Halo, you've got your mother's eyes you know? Heavy hearted one, don't fall backwards... Hello Halo, you got a modern eye you know? It's that everyone's so scared...all the time... Catch the bastard and...improvise your lies... Tell me all your saints... Shiver up still till' the quiet's cold! Shiver up still till' the quiets cold! Damn you all to hell Damn to all of it! You are so tired all the time, so get rest... You always taught me such disappointment, you let your guard down... Your soul's hell, body's aching, they can't go back now... You are so...i'm with you...

Lost In Bali 06:17
...I will jump ship at the first sight of pain... Hold...out for as long...as you can stand Quickly run before the tides do come Are you somewhere now, that is just so unreachable? Can you make it out, if the rest of the world caught up? Back...when we were small...with no opinion of none Other than just what we liked... Now I know it all, and a master of none Time to quickly break falls They just come one after one How...do you relate...to someone else these days? Lost in numbers and such Oh god, what's that rush, pulsing right out my skin? Oh boy, are you kin or not? I don't know, but i'll figure it out... Hope...is my only friend...we caught up once before I sure hope to see it all again...before I die Before I grow, another old-...before i'm twenty five I just hope there's a little bit more than what I had originally thought... Oh no I got caught, now i'm quick to judge... Now...i'll go somewhere else...somewhere far... Where there's still a shot at love... God knows that we're damned... All course of our selfish plans No I don't want to be found... Maybe i'll just get lost in Bali... Lost in Bali I think i'll just go get lost in Bali You know...oh no, i'll just go get lost in Bali Lost in Bali Lost in Bali I think i'll go get lost in Bali Lost In Bali... Lost in Bali...

Cities unknown Find your place somehow Where you go from here...now... Running on tracks, slow as anything Take it, breathe it all in Figure out whats holy or sin And wish the best, in all that you could have...well... So keep that spirit up... Keep that spirit up You never know when it will be useful Don't get cold or bitter... So Rachelle... So Rachelle... Your hanging with your own opposite there Its better to know what the cattle call asks for there So Rachelle... So Rachelle... Don't let yourself stutter No, don't, stutter, no Don't stutter, no Don't stutter Don't you know...well...you have to know...you dont have to stutter Think your fine, your will, on your own Oh your heart So Rachelle... Breathe it in... So Rachelle... Live it, oh, exactly You got your own company So Rachelle... Breathe it in...

Hello, 4AM 04:27
If I was to follow where i've been I would catch some thought of past wishes and sin Is there nothing left to breathe? So clean, now, you are done, and so am I to live? I have done some things I do regret There's no more time...time it goes another way And so I did...I wait up on the hill that was done from all the plantations, and we ripped up the ground, to make complexes for some new family around, who got lots of money to spend, and I cant blame them from saving, then spending every penny that they got...what else is there to do? Hello 4AM, how have you been? We hang out all the time, but never speak... You're so quiet now, as you've always been So past the time alone then tell me when... Hello 4AM Hello 4AM Hello 4AM Hello 4AM

Where my son? "Don't come back." I wanted all of it all I wanted a big ol' house with a white picket fence, and a wife, to boot And a son to call my own...but he done run the coop... One night we get to fightin' And he don't wanna stay no more, and he done shouted from the top of his lungs, "I aint got no reason to stay no more! And dear old dad..i'm heading out..." He done gone head out west, or to the east...I do not know... He got his pride with a suitcase of wine, checkers on the side... He done gone packed two shirts, and one pair of jeans and then he fled So fathers out there...please be good to your sons... After months have gone, my wife, she's a ghost... She aint got no smile or warmth in her skin She does dry all of our clothes and sheets outside the back, and i've never seen someone so plain...in the face before... So i held her dear, and I whispered in her ear, "Don't worry dear you did nothing wrong. It was my fault, maybe it's best if he fled the coop..." Did he move out west? Or did he go to the east? I do not know... The corn fields in Idaho, in the midwest? No I do not know... For all I can figure out myself He's living in the town next over... Who am I to judge? Who am I to blame? But myself and my son for foolish games... But no matter where he is today... Kin will be kin and there's no one to save... ...anything other than that...

More sleep never hurt anyone... Yet still ghosts wake me with waking sun... Ache, frustrated and don't know why... Hunger aches with no surprise, with wide eyed sighs More sleep never hurt anyone When my kicks cause me these grins, lost appetite Now stomach growls are soothing vibes Subtle quicks, insomnia tricks, keep me high I will try to go to bed... Drink poison the words today were said Living like lions in a comfy den Break all train of thoughts I praise, and don't know when More sleep never hurt anyone Yet still ghosts wake me with waking sun Ache, frustrated, and don't know why Hunger aches with no surprise with wide eyed sighs More sleep never hurt anyone...

I woke up at the golden hour, just in time to watch the train go by And then I stood up, and wiped my faded eyes again Do you know what it's like, when your diet consists of oatmeal and OJ everyday? Do you know what its like, to look at everyone around you knowing that they got blood coursing through their veins and your the only one who dont... I'm trapped in an indie film, a sterotypical indie film The one where the lead, is a hopeless romantic with harmful deeds ...and it goes on... I fall in love with a girl Pale with black hair whose eyes pierce more than anything else She's the Zoey Deschanel to my Jospeh Gordon Levitt...summer days... The way I see it, it looks like a plethora of hand held shots at every corner that you can make on 16milimeter film And it'd be vibrant, and it'd be classic, and it will feel...and then it'll be stale, for a moment, with music overplaying to make it so its like its still going...going...with an emotional recall... My life is an indie film My life is an indie film Indie film My life is an In- My life is an indie film A stereotypical and practical indie film And this is the soundtrack to my indie film... Watch me away... I'm the lead to my own film... And I swear I still dream of that love... I wish it was an indie film... Stereotypical and predictable at the same time...not like what I got now I'd rather be fictionalized... Then in my current state This is the end of the song now... It's finishing up at the golden hour...

And I...want to get naked with you And I...want to get naked with you A thousand miles away, and that's ok by me And i'll send a wave on over, from this east coast small town to the west Damn i'm curious, and not for my own good I don't know a lot of things, but there's one that I do for sure That I...want to get naked with you And I...want to get naked with you I think I had another dream last night, and we were eating each others faces again We missed our pause, we missed our beat ...so i'll grab a seat...and wait for the show to start Knowing where we are...I don't know where we are You've thrown every single curse I take em' pretty well now... There's something about you that I don't know about But I...want to get naked with you Yes, I...want to get naked with you Yes, I...want to get naked with you Yes, I...want to get naked with you Yes, I...want to get naked with you Yes, I...want to get naked with you

I don't know how to write this song... I don't know! There's no way to explain... It's like I was born again... Born alive with something new, something sweet, something exciting, something lovely all around... I was born anew I'm truly happy & grateful These days it's hard, it's really hard to know where we want go It's easy to be afraid now We'll do the best way we can, and appreciate every moment Appreciate every moment I'm truly happy & grateful I feel like a moving van, going from the east coast to the west, and from the north to south, and back around again, across the ocean ...across the ocean... I feel like a five minute drive to anywhere I want to go, anywhere I want to go in the world That's what it's like...and i'm so excite And the breeze, the breeze, the breeze reminds me of a fall I once had when I was six years old Jumping in piles of leaves with neighbors all around ...that's all there was... I'm truly happy & grateful I feel like I was just born again I feel like I just saw my future child once again And I saw that he was ok, and she had her eyes And it made me truly happy & grateful & grateful... I'm truly happy & grateful "And then my memories came and went along, and then they started to dance with every single person I knew. From the time I was born till the day I died. And boy was it a celebration of sorts! And people were drinking wine or not drinking wine, it didn't really matter. And they were eating their favorite food with a certain-to the best of it's quality...it was just one big celebration for everything came and went." I'm truly happy & grateful I'm truly happy & grateful I'm truly happy! I'm truly happy & grateful I can go to the bays, and i'll settle anytime I want I can sing anyway I want I can dance anyway I want I can think anyway I want I ca say anything I want I can hold anyone I want I can love as much as I want now Oh, i'm truly happy & grateful I'm truy happy & grateful I'm truly happy & grateful ...& grateful...& grateful...& grateful

Sick me the dogs of war Oh how I hear them come Sick me the dogs of war Oh how I hear them come And i'll let them find me On behalf of my friends and family The only thing my pulse agrees Running rapid with ease For years i've been lost at sea And for them i'll die happy in my sleep I walked around the room, though my body still lie And all I could ask, was I just an idea this whole time? They would scatter about, drinking all their wine Cause god forbid, the grape wasn't crushed just fine And then I changed my tune From under my skin I cried Cause i'd rather be poor with family, then rich and with none I swallowed myself into none And the wolves they keep on howling All o'er these Jersey hills So I cut my throat, and watched the whiskey spill Then I cried again...hoping that they'd hear from the outside Oh how loud I cried, but I was passed this point of life... Cause i'd rather be poor with family, then rich and with none I swallowed myself into none And the wolves they keep on howling All o'er these Jersey hills So I cut my throat, and watched the whiskey spill

about

The Long Drives To Nowhere Fast: Live, Raw, And Unpredicted is Marco!'s first full length album, a process consisting of improvising each song, and letting his unconscious impulse guide the work. Marco! would ask insomniacs over social media what their current moods were, and from that foundation found creative relativity, bringing artist and listener closer than imagined. Marco! encourages those who download to listen closely when their staring up at that ceiling they have grown accustomed too during those odd hours of the night when the rest of the world has decided to calm itself down, and hopes he came close in captivating that familiar ground. Marco! also recommends this album for any spirited traveler in the throes of a cross country road trip, for those seeking that authentic American eccentricity.

Marco used an 8 track Tascam Mixer, a laptop, and an iphone4 for these recordings.

For Listeners: People who enjoy Marco! may also enjoy Daniel Johnston, Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Antony and the Johnsons, Neutral Milk Hotel, Death Cab For Cutie, King Kruel/Zoo Kid, Billy Bragg, Morrissey, The Front Bottoms, The Decemberists, Sharon Van Etten, and Fences.
