lyrics

Lyrics:

Eyes on me
Multiply satisfied
Guard up
Throw dynamite
It’s flight or fight

Blame the messenger
And dusty words
Tongue's all wet
Flooding the curb

Given names
Not the words not the sight
Straight line
Never time
It’s fight or flight

Blame the messenger
And dusty words
Tongue’s all wet
Flooding the curb

I don’t want to hear
‘Bout your tongues and guns
I don’t want to hear
That you think I’m one

Don’t want to hear
I’m not one

Wow! Y'all have outdone yourselves on this one. It is pure shoegaze noise bliss. Swirling like I did in my acid days to MBV. It's retro, it's modern, it's disconnect jagged edge. Custom Made In 1968
