Named for the formative location in lead singer John Wozniak's childhood, the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis, Marcy Playground emerged in the late 1990s with clean and subdued alternative rock. Wozniak's first effort, "Zog BogBean - From the Marcy Playground", was a self-produced labor of love, recorded in his bedroom studio with some help from his then-girlfriend Sherry Fraser in the early nineties. A small run of CD's was self-released by Wozniak, and to this day it remains extremely difficult to find, and highly sought after. Most copies that surface for sale go for over $100. After attending the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington for two years, Wozniak moved east to New York, where Marcy Playground began to coalesce around the songs that would become the self-titled album.

Deadly Handsome Man Lyrics

Marcy Playground

Some cats, they know how to fight
Some cats run
I'm a thousand generations, ahead of them
Cool as they come
See all my suits are Calvin Klein
My lucky number's 69
I got all the things I need
It's the nature of my breed
I'm independant, smooth and confident
Always in command
With a graceful element
a tasteful compliment
Do you know who I am
(...look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight...)
I'm a deadly handsome man
(...look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight...)
I'm the lion and the lamb
(...look up, look down, watch out the tiger's on the town tonight...)

Everywhere I go I make the scene
The ladies love to stroke me
I'm Pimped out and lazy in my limousine
Oh, come on in here sweetie
Everything I say...like Socrates
Most people love to quote me
My real name is Mephistopheles
But you can call me Baby
