lyrics

Back to back and side to side
The houses full up on the rise
A three car crash up on the pass
An open sea of glass and I was home
Clinging to the coast

I put my ear up to the shell
Heard brighter tolls from older bells
I cut the ribbon, reeled them in
Sat back and let them win
And now I know
Exactly who I owe

Back to back and side to side
The houses on the rise

Back to back and side to side
The houses full up on the rise
I cut the ribbon, let it win
Sat back and reeled it in
And now I see
Why it ain’t for me

Back to back and side to side
The houses on the rise

Everybody knows
It’s sinking in slowly here
Everybody knows
It’s sinking in slowly here
All day
Sinking in slowly here
All day
Sinking in slowly here
All day
Sinking in slowly here

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
