lyrics

Shaking down the turnpike in a flannel state
Swallow and contemplate
When Brenny tells me the difference between
A graveyard and a cemetery

Suddenly
I'm spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning
All of the lives I lived back when
Are lying buried beside the persons I could've been
And we're spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning

I've been in trouble
I've been full of rage
Been bent over double
Strings cut center-stage
What the hell's it all for
If not to change
If not to change
If not to change

The wind off the ocean done braided my hair
All up with brined, sea-salted air
Turn my back on the complacent sea
I've got better places to be

Suddenly
I'm flailing and flailing and flailing and flailing
All of the lives I lived back when
Are floating, drowned beside the persons I could've been
Leave them, leave them, leave them, leave them

I've been in trouble
I've been full of rage
Been bent over double
Strings cut center-stage
What the hell's it all for
If not to change
If not to change
If not to change

Parade Chic's dizzying sophomore album, Exquisite Malaise, is out now. ... more
