about

The final track on the 2011 demo tape, the rambunctious motif from "Drama Llama" was undoubtedly the most popular among fans of the band, who would regularly chant the guitar riff during live performances - oftentimes with the band ceasing to play entirely in order to allow audience members to 'count off' the final section of the song, and often the show. Despite it's playful tone, the song actually refers to abusive relationships, and how the regularly dramatized situations found within them can often become a source of addiction to the subject of the abuse.

lyrics

Take a step, take a step, now you're running
Make a bet, make a bet, it's all or nothing
'Cause everything you ever say
It seems like you exaggerate, but

You take everything too far
You never get it
But I'm just a junkie for your drama, yeah

Take a left, take a left, now you're spinning
Play the game but you're never gonna win it
It's not a game you've gotta play
But you'll do it anyway
