Dig in, all the way So much more than anyone That I have met in a great long while And I just wanted to say Thank you for the wait Thought this may not count for anything Your living room is a white hot tomb (oh) But there's no place that I'd rather be Fortunes of tellers Karaoke Killers I'm lovesick until I I wanna put my arms around you kiss you like a starved piranha Uptown matinee Reclaim your piece of birthday cake The problem I miss you whenever you go away Deep breath for my lunch Two hearts that just won't sync up What I'd prefer, what I deserve To be the lover and the loved Fortunes of tellers Karaoke Killers I'm lovesick until I I wanna put my arms around you kiss you like the chupacabra

Seven tries to make it Eleven tries to take the pain Twenty tries to paste it (&) Then I did it all again Now I'll try to taste it Now I'll try to taste the rainbow Stuck in the recent past Grandfathered into this plan (Oh) It's just a pyramid That they're gonna build on your back She treats her friends like pennies She treats her friends like vending machines A dollar in the right slot It buys that luxury of choice Pleasure's a principal A fistful, you’re falling apart You feel the rope behind you Snap and it's quite a long way down A credit score of 666 No art of conversation exists Adjust the bass, let the alpine blast The positions been filled but you’re next on the list

Pillow Sail 02:51
Pillow sail Goodbye my heart Pillow sail You can put all the work you want Into your own Would be meritocracy If it registers on their radar It’s their downtown now And they can have it Pillow sail Goodbye my heart Pillow sail What do you do when all your friends Walk away You must let them go but you can count On them needing you again You left the channels open But nothings Coming over the wire You left the channels open But nothings

Daytime King 03:27
Tell me all Sleep it off In one piece You’re right there with me Daytime King Promise me Christmas canes We’ll close the city Light up the tree Where’s my gadget gone? And the manual For my dreams I’m going crazy Suss it out Short and stout Tall and lean You’re right there with me Jingling the keys I think it’s safe to say, that this party is about to become a historical fact Tell me all You’re right there with me Jingling the keys

Li De Li De Li What have you done? Your boss is pointing with an itchy finger and a loaded tongue Li De Li De Li Where have you gone? They clipped your wings and slashed your tires when you’d only just begun My husband is In finance At least we got that In common It will all turn to gold if you turn away Li De Li De Li Scan horizons (&) Book vacations to some foreign nations with a burning sun Li De Li De Li Another day is done Patrol the aisles that go on for miles and I’ll sing my song My husband is In finance At least we got that In common It will all turn to gold if you turn away

The ballad of the boomerang and his sons People subtly hint At the greatness locked within A time capsule buried beneath the roots Collect the kindling Are you sure you’re insured We’re taping windows for the storm I’ll slink around like a bodega cat On all fours Vegas curtains keep the sunlight out And interruptions to a minimum But theres so many zip codes I wanna get myself into Before I’m through Strictly haute couture Taking donations from the poor I’m kickstarting nothing No funds in the oven Some things they arrived Fully formed These tools are primitive I know You’ve got me walking pigeon toed Refine me, baby

Cathy she moved to Texas Running from a police Young families trek up north to Queens Fulfill their third grade dreams Drifting around a final decision but I found a comfy position In the stability of our turbulence When will I be immune to this? Keep one ear pointed to the street 20 years since that letter This minstrel’s starting to believe Ran into her before she skipped town Arizona, from the Ezra Pound An art barge on the Mississippi Probably kill myself if I could see who’d miss me, yeah When will I be immune to this? Keep one ear pointed to the street 20 years since that letter This minstrel’s starting to believe If I’m chasing my tail here With one ear pointed to the street Give a scare to remind me This Minstrel’s starting to believe

In that elevator up to Floor 15 I saw a model tapping on a blackberry (& she said) “All environments get toxic If you hang around long enough” Life Coach Infinite Scroll Life Coach Infinite Scroll Life Coach Infinite Scroll Picked up the tab for you and your fucking friends Put in my 2 weeks don’t feel like I’m at the end Ambition, I’m bitching It’s a straight, line of work, that I’m tangled up in Life Coach Infinite Scroll Life Coach Infinite Scroll Life Coach Infinite Scroll I get the feeling that you wanna be liked by me You’re the popular guy (popular guy) in the eighties movie I live not a 2 minute walk from the faculty parking lot Fuck this coven of divorcees I wanna raise huskies

An accusation as good as a verdict Everything you want and more, everything you want and more Moving targets are hard to hit Everything you want and more, everything you want and more (Yeah) All it took was not dying, now here we are Everything you want and more, everything you want and more So many have grown up and left this dark city Float in ponds, attend universities Driving cars in circles Driving cars in circles Well I lost, and I lost, I lost my way But it's a mistake that I choose to make You went out begging, you came back rich Everything you want and more, everything you want and more It's harder to measure success in this crowded room You smile like you're not aging too Driving cars in circles Driving cars in circles Yeah I lost, and I lost, I lost my way But it's the mistake that I’ll choose to make

Understudy 03:21
Simple vs. Guilty pleasures We rehearse Religiously Watch her glow From the dim Miss Pac Man screen Board three Why's everyone in a rush to go nowhere? And why can’t randomness be happiness' understudy All possibilities of night Go on and live your stupid life With all of your Summers off in your mind I’ve got two Auroras in my phone I think (Auroras) It’s more than most Lot of re- jection in the Ms, oh well My timing's off Licking your wounds for a fee and I feel I'm Dying a quiet death With dignity intact So hit me with all your might Would be half as much as you hit me You hit me that first night

about

“Rating: 9/10...full of guitar blasting, hand clapping, hooky goodness...it’s impossible to find a bad song here...A real treat for lovers of melodic rock, it’s both highly recommended and on my list for top ten album of 2017." - Power Popaholic

“Chock-full of catchy guitar-pop anthems...it’s a creative, playful and fun record that’s perfect for setting the summer vibe. Pulling from a range of influences, Onesie’s core is based around power-pop, with the album full of catchy hooks, solid melodies and tunes you’ll be humming over and over even when if you’re not spinning the album.” - Huffington Post

“...a tongue-in-cheek outfit from Brooklyn that specializes in quirky melodic rock and roll, evident in spades on “Husbands in Finance”: great rhythm guitar swing, fun sing-along vocals, and hooks, hooks, hooks.” - Power Pop Record

“Leos Consume is a glorious combination of today’s modern indie pop and the sound of early 2000’s alternative greats. With the release of Leos Consume, Onesie proves that it has the chops to be the next celebrated act to emerge from the fruitful Brooklyn music scene.” - The Front Row Report

“...combines some of the best elements of ’90s power pop with a touch of punk rock to create their own brand of Indie pop.” - Indie Voice Blog

"As a band, you can either look at what’s on the charts, get trendy and hope for the best or you just don’t give a shit what´s selling and instead go your own way. That´s exactly what the Brooklyn based trio Onesie has done on their debut album "Leos Consume" and it´s a charming record too." - Palace Of Rock
