The Spooks are an all-original heavy soul band from the DC Metro area consisting of Duane Bullock on drums, Jimmie Void and Quentin Pagtakhan on guitars, Wes Kilgore on bass, and vocals and Tyrone on vocals. Google "OG" and chances are you'll see a picture of Duane. Duane's pockets are deep and stanky. Jimmie is the resident shaman and spiritual backbone of The Spooks. If you find yourself getting lost in the mystic heights of our music, there's a high probability that one of Jimmie's blistering solos has led you there.

Cynthia Nowhere
Cynthia NowhereCynthia, nowhere have I ever seen beauty like yours. Perfection defined Destined to live The American Dream Until the dark day that I made you mine. Springtime turns steadily into December One hit of nowhere is hard to resist I don't think Cynthia even remembers The time that we shared our first poison kiss Stars in her eyes turn to stares into middle distance I wipe that smirk off her face with little resistance. Cynthia Nowhere sees cracks in the mirror Seven more years of this, too much to take Line after line a reflection of terror Dark circles deepen and bones always ache Scars everywhere, she's so scared she huddles defenseless Tracks down her cheeks and her arms are there to bear witness Cynthia Nowhere thinks she has the answers Turns her head skyward and puts blade to wrist She rues the day that I gave her my cancer Cynthia, nowhere is better... better than this

Bulletproof
Bulletproof"Bulletproof" Lyrics So it comes down to this Negotiations have failed now we're here at a standoff A calculated risk Just look at the damage that's been done so far Look at the trust we've lost I've seen your list of demands Don't you understand? I'm trying the best that I can for you But you got me in your site And I don't know what else I can do Chorus: Except come in with my Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot I'm coming with my hands up, don't shoot But I swear sometimes you think I must be bulletproof Just take a look around You see I've got you surrounded By the things that should bring joy to you I'm getting off the ground And I'm completely unarmed Don't be alarmed if I try to take a step or two Why don't we compromise I'll give a little to you, you give a little to me and we both win But if I open the door I'm afraid that you'll try to blow my head off again Chorus: That's why I'll come in with my Hands up, don't shoot. Hands up, don't shoot I'm coming with my hands up, don't shoot But I swear sometimes you think I must be bulletproof
