Biography:
Born from an impromptu jam at a Halloween party in 2009, Skating Polly is a punk/rock/pop duo made up of stepsisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse. On their forthcoming sophomore album Lost Wonderfuls (produced by Exene Cervenka and mixed by Flaming Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock), the Oklahoma City-based band reveals itself as a wildly vital force in the resurrection and reinvention of classic punk rock.
Raised on ‘70s punk and early-‘90s alt-rock

C B A G Em
I never knew that we were those people

The kind that guilt you out of your fun grade
[CHORUS]
Em B/D#
Oh, please forget me for my sins
Em B/D#
My charming orneriness has got me once again
Em B/D#
My father sent me out, he told me what to do
Em B/D#
But instead of listening I stuck prickle needles in his shoes
Em B
He tried to run, he tried to follow
Em B
But just at the sight of the blood he couldn't run much farther
Em B
And I felt bad just for a second
Em B
But mainly I was laughing because I just ran away
Em B
I just ran away from everything good in my life that was happening

C B A G Em
He brought me an ice pack for my bruises
C D A G Em
But the ice pack proved to be quite useless

Because I didn't have bumps; I had cuts
C D A G Em
And he shouldn't try to numb it, I need a bandage
[CHORUS]
Em B/D#
Oh, please forget me for my sins
Em B/D#
My charming orneriness has got me once again
Em B/D#
My father sent me out, he told me what to do
Em B/D#
But instead of listening, I filled up his cup to the top with glue
Em B
He tried to drink, he tried to swallow
Em B
But due to the lack of the air his face was turning dark blue
Em B
And I felt bad just for a second
Em B
But mainly I was laughing because I just brought the day
Em B
I had just brought the day of everything weird in my life that was mattering
[POST CHORUS]
D# C# C
She never knew, well it's true I could have saved him
C# D# C# C
She never knew, I just sat there cold-faced for the longest time
C# D# C# C
She never knew, yeah, this is that kind of tale
C# D# C# C C# D# C# C

The way I came, always a game
