Going through a rough patch
Looking for that easy track
I thought I'd slip away for the weekend.
Must've had a heart attack
Can't explain the change that
Turned me back into a caveman.
Better take cover there's a storm coming in
Unlike before, nothing's blowing in the wind
Can't save the future on pennies and dimes
Black clouds chase the skyline.
Diving from the top notch
Hits you like a glass of scotch
I've never had the stomach for such drinking.
What's that washed up on the rocks?
A dream so real a paradox
I can't tell if I'm swimming or I'm sinking.
Better take cover there's a storm coming in
Unlike before, nothing's blowing in the wind
Can't save the future on pennies and dimes
Black clouds chase the skyline.

Don't take away my contribution--
Whatever that may come to be
And we will never find perfection
It's these mistakes that set you free
There'll be no bloody revolution
The wheel won't cease to turn again
Go back to bed with all your weapons
and sleep until the dream begins
I'm living in a Ghost Town
Where no one ever leaves
Float above the hallowed ground
Living in a Ghost Town
Keep writing poetry on napkins
You can always use a word or two
To smooth the wrinkles in this madness
Heaven knows it's what we do
Rip off the right thing and be honest
Quit pretending it's no use
This wild beet red badge of courage
Can sympathize with the abuse
Living in a Ghost Town
No one ever leaves
Float above the hallowed ground
Living in a Ghost
(la da da.......)

Cities & States Nahant, Massachusetts
Cities & States' sophomore album, aptly named "Sophomore Slump", is a massive work displaying the breadth of Richard's palette, Sinnatamby's engineering mastery, and Bickerton's command of the kit. This collaboration has revealed a palpable necessity for expression, and a greater need for exploring the far corners of an endless musical landscape. Step inside their world with "Ambulance Racer"! ... more
