Go West

I remember when we would run around
like chickens with our heads cut off
and scare those neighborhood brats with aluminum bats
such criminal cops
And I'll never forget my first true love
no matter how hard I try
Her minimal polka dot dress
still hangs in the closet of my mind
(Chorus)
I hear the best things happen
when you least expect them
so clear my better ideas
are the ones that came from your rejection
It's a miracle we all heal
like a wheel--it's instinct driving us on
dirt roads of imagination
we go west we're the restless ones
(Chorus)
(Break)
Shit got weird and you're to blame
You made it weirder
What's it like to cause such pain?--
"It feels like power"
(Chorus)

Hold up your painting
For the world to see
Things from your side
3 way dimension
For the girl who needs
To live outside these lines
(Chorus)
You start to feel irregular
This is your defining moment in reverse
The best rock and rollers are dead
You said
So what does that make me?
If wartime is over
Then why are we
Still living overseas?
(Chorus)

Roam

What would you do if I told you I loved you?
After all the valleys of heartache I've been through
Ear to the ground I've been hopelessly listening
For the sound of your return
like some thunder and lightning
Now that you got nowhere left to roam
And what would you say if I told you I hate you?
Not that much to lose but enough to probably date you
We could start again--less booze, more talking
Sunday afternoon through the park we'll back walking
It's the best that I can do.

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
