Floated In
01:22
|
|||
|
I floated in and started living
passed a blondie asked you a question
"What are you doin? What are you doin?"
now it would be bedtime if I could close off my mind
it just flops onto you, wet and soppy glue
what are you? you know I'd love to
rummage through your silky pink space cap oooh
I floated in and started living
past a blondie asked you a question
"What are you doin? What are you doin?"

If I Had a Dog
01:28
|

|
If I had a dog, I'd take a picture every day
am I still so sad? is that pretty lame?
everybody says "your decisions are okay
but here's a better idea…" and a comment not about my brain
if I had a love, I'd draw a picture every day
am I still so mad? I guess that's pretty lame
everybody says "your first one's just a game
you'll find a better one…" and a comment about my body

Fool
02:04
|
|||
|
your name is a triangle, your heart is a square
I love to see you way over there
once I was happy, you found it intriguing
then you got to me & left me bleeding
you make me feel like a fool
waiting for you
I thought we could eat bread, I thought we could talk
on darker days with our boots kicked off.
you look to me, and I look away
though I had been looking
you make me feel like a fool waiting for you

Embody
01:49
|
|||
|
someday in bravery, I'll embody all the grace and lightness
everybody understands me, but I wish nobody understood me
so you could be the one who did
embody all the grace and lightness
the world is pretty big, it's cool we fit on it
it makes me wanna grow, so I can go see more
Sarah is a lightbeam
from the picture Jonah sent me
it makes me so happy she embodies all the grace and lightness
it's sunday night and my friends are friends with my friends
it shows me they embody all the grace and lightness
Florist signs are everywhere, Emily is in the air
on tour with Gabby
we embody all the grace and lightness

Too Dark
02:43
|
|||
|
I wish I had some control
you embarrass me in full
I feel low low low
I don't wanna know how flustered you were
I just wanna hear
you say you were wrong
how easily I become not real
like a bug you brush off your ear
you're just dust, I'm just dust
if your love was strong as my shame
I'd marry you and take your name
but it's not, you'll never get it
so I guess I'll just forget it
too dark
I stand alone, lucky and unknown
do I belong? do I belong? do I belong? oh
when I know I'm not the best girl in the room
I tell myself I'm the best you can do
do I belong? do I belong? do I belong? no
I drink bad coffee, hope that you'll call me (do I belong?)
never look back, never look back, never look back, oh (do I belong?)
when I get bored, I crash up on the shore (do I belong?)
too dark, too dark, too dark, oh (do I belong?)

Tour Good
01:25
|
|||
|
I don't know what I'm cut out for
if there's anything I have love for
I'd throw myself upon its door
and tell it how fucked you are
up in morning / down at dawn
warm up vocals / sing a song
sit in car / read a book
rest stop eggs or chips,
I look at you every day
you change, I change, hooray

Ronnie & Frankie miss Meredith even though
she's Owen's friend, not their friend, they also love Momo
even though he's not Joejoe

I'm 20
01:36
|
|||
|
I'm 20
washed up already
I'd sell my soul for a free pen
on it the name of your corporation
ooooh ooooh
If by some chance you know
what is cool, tell me how
I wanna be just how you
would imagine me to
ooooh ooooh

On the Lips
01:49
|
|||
|
I watch David Blaine
find myself believing
in anything, in many things
I watch David Blaine
find myself believing
in anything, in anything
where would I kiss ya
if I could kiss ya?
why would I kiss ya
if I could kiss ya?
I'm sorry I'm high let's go
sometimes I cry cause I know
I'll never have all the answers
separated by a subway transfer
I watch you disappear
as my train rolls away
I know you could've kissed me
but I'll have to wait
where would I kiss ya
if I could kiss ya?
why should I kiss ya
if I could kiss ya?

Sinister
02:10
|
|||
|
my soul is not like a waterpark
it's big but surprisingly dark
it's not as forgivable as you once thought,
you'd still be here if it really was
you really were a pile of rocks
on some planet so far up
how long did we even sit?
it's good I can't remember it
sometimes I get sinister
can't always be like Arthur
sometimes I just feel sinister
can't always turn to Arthur
New Mexico where I ran to
and closed my eyes and thought of you,
and all the time we weren't friends,
a parked car we made out against
so you went home and shut me out
and I grew up, backseats and mouths
and there ensued some other shit
I'm glad I don't remember it
sometimes I get sinister
can't understand Arthur
sometimes I just feel sinister
can't always be like Arthur

when I say goodbye
you act like you lost something,
or were you really realizing?
is it possible
that I really miss you?
New York feels so huge...
what's up with my fate?
is it too late? or is it gonna change?
if I let myself, I could go crazy,
or maybe if you let me
now that I know that every time I get sad
you just hate me
you can go to sleep and sleep it off
peacefully
I'll be here all night feeling
totally fucked
wondering what tomorrow will be like
and staying up
I guess I just make myself the victim like you said
that's why when you treat me shitty you get mad
it all makes sense now, thanks so much
goodbye forever, what the fuck

Outside with the Cuties
02:34

Outside with the cuties
I don't think the woods are too deep
the grass covers the sand
all the wood is damp
Feeling very touched
cause my friends are in love
Feeling pretty far from home
so I sit to write this down
I guess it's not really brave
I know I'm not a lake
I haven't written this part yet
will you help me write it?
you are bug bites on vacation,
you find the sad in everything
can't see you cry, you're down the street
I wonder when you'll talk to me
your eyes reflect the greenish moon
you move towards me and I love you
I love you
I love you
I haven't finished this song yet
will you help me fix it?

Sappho
01:52
|
|||
|
From the street I see
your window and I look up in
is that even your house?
is that Sappho you're reading?
is it cool when I don't care?
can you feel me in the air?
under the crack in the door,
can you tell I have no floor?
and I'm shivering just thinking
where have you been all these minutes?
I am too stressed out to
do the thing the train won't do
but why should I fight back?
I'm just not like that
and I'm sorry if I have been a real bad friend
your face too close to mine to hear you talk
so I look up into your window
from the street where I am standing (so i look up into your window)
is that even your house (from the street where I'm standing)
is that your landing (is that even your house)
and I wanna know what (is that your landing)
you're reading
is it cool when I don't care?
can you feel me in the air?
under the crack in the door
can you tell I have no floor?
I'm not grounded, nothing
nothing nothing

What If
02:22
|
|||
|
what we do, for our kids
when we don't know who
or what it is
what we do, for young love
what if? what if?
what is What If?
I'd be down to break my fall
using my guitar
sunlight on the subway pole
fur against a turnstile
so last minute
oh, to be in it
when you're young, you're too young
when you're old, you're too old
too few ideas, or too many
I'm reminded of a dance party
when you walk into the rest stop
I'm fluttery, you got me feeling so clean

O Dreaded C Town
01:59
|
|||
|
If you really need to stay inside
just to be sure you don't break anything,
please don't invite me over
cause I don't think it is working
Today I walked through your town
it's ruined for me now
I still think you're in every van
and I peer into all of them
you were a dealer, a friend, a prick,
a friend again, with more to it
now you're a ghost, a memory
or maybe just a bad story
Where are you now? I don't really care
Who you're around, who you're making scared
I don't know or care to know
I don't care or know to care

Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone.
