In September of 2006, Eisley traveled from Tyler to Malibu so they could begin recording their second full-length album. Producer Richard Gibbs hosted the band at his home studio. All the developments, complete with pictures and video, are available in this section of Tales from Trolleywood.

Eisley unveiled quite a few contenders for the next full-length on their 2006 Final Noise tour. They included:

Many Funerals
Invasion
I Could Be There For You
Taking Control
Like the Actors
We Feel Good

Others remain shrouded in mystery with only titles to tease us. Here are just a few that have been mentioned on the official website:

Go Away
Marsh King's Daughter
Lady Get Away
Come Clean

Boyd has hinted that there are a couple dozen new songs to pick from, so of course there are plenty others of which fans are not aware. Some live recordings of songs played on tour were made available through the official site, and Sherri was kind enough to post the lyrics to several new songs in the Laughing City forum so fans could sing along.

"Taking Control"

when we get down/If we get down
we'll get up again
and we won't take it if you won't take it

you've been taking control of our lives
and you've been making us go
you've been taking control of our lives
and we wont take it if you wont take it

if we get down/when we get down
we'll get up again
and we can take the right way out of here
i'll be sure to show you again

can you find it
hiding inside

you've been making a joke of our lives
and you've been making us go

"I Could Be There For You"

she's made of sulfur in the night
all her friends say, "ring ring ring ring, where are you hiding?"
could you open your door

i could be there for you

love is a false dart driven into your heart

and i could be there for you

would someone please walk through with me
i've got nothing to hide, nowhere to be
why do we have to come through here
nothing leads me to you
because you are nothing what you seem
you're always looking out for me

you never contemplate that i am near
and help goes unseen
you're a cave admitting whom You choose

and I could be there for you
i will be there for you.

"Invasion"

the colorless words are burning our heels as the bright lights
of the city fade
taking the chase to curb our fear as the bloodless moon
cast's it's face

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless
go to sleep, this wont hurt a bit
shifting your shape to our shells

and they will try to make us forget ourselves
one by one one by one
call me crazy but they are after us
one by one one by one
you don't have to know the truth
if you believe it, i believe it too

oh something's not right, i can feel it inside

you would take the breath from my throat
and you would take the cherished people that i hold

------

"We Feel Good"

i feel so good inside and from my left side you wont take it
and from my right side you wont take it
no you wont
and let me tell you how it happened to me
i was standing alone waiting for you to come home

but you make the world go 'round and 'round
they wrote all my hopes down
i'm lost and found
and it just so happens it will happen to you too

i was so wrong about you
and first and foremost let me apologize because i realize
how unorganized my thinking was 'cause
you are so generous

i will if you will too
i'll pull if you'll pull too

-----

"Like the Actors"

dust was supplied in the making of the movie
i don't mind 'cause i've got my place to share with the world
sharing and sharing all day long

the content was explicit, i don't know what was with it
i played it down and down
we fall down like the actors shot in the chest

you were young you thought you were so ugly
you wouldn't attend the costume party but you feel so
tired you feel so lonely
you try to dig your heart out of vanity

down and down, we fall down like the actors shot
in the chest

oh we're all the same, all we want is a good bit of fame
isn't it so insane, how when we fall down
our morals do the same
