lyrics

The hills in the distance
They seem so near
It takes more than a lifetime
To get there from here
Life here is slow
cause speed never pays
Not in the heart of the city
Anyways

Windowpanes
Shine in the night
Windows filled
With trapped sunlight
You’re caught in a trap
When you follow the sun
There’s a trap in this city
For everyone

From the flash boulevard
To the burial ground
From the underpass
To the merry-go-round
Sand in the pockets
Of their camouflage guise
Saltwater-wind in their hands
& the kindness of the moon
In their eyes

Crash on the freeway
Cars in the ditch
Scars on your shins
They begin to itch
The beaches are empty
& so is the fairground
& far far away
The sun’s going down

"There’s substance, originality, & cleverness at work here. I admire how these people take something that already exists traditionally & reinterpret it with their own ingredients to create something truly effective that resonates. This record is straight whiskey. Tom Waits would be proud."—AMERICANA HIGHWAYS ... more
