She's sending pictures to my phone
I just wish she'd leave me alone
There's a limit to my happiness I know
I keep dreaming of my death
Like it was something on the television
It's just a nightmare that is all
I could kiss her on the lips
Or I could kiss her goodbye
But it's all just a fancy waste of time
Now I'm not one to judge
What a young woman does
and I'm certainly not saying it's a crime
--But she's always drinking wine
I treat my frustration like it's overgrown
The fruit's already fallen from the tree
And I watch the situation disappearing on its own
Like a slow evaporating chemistry
I could kiss her on the lips
Or I could kiss her goodbye
But it's all just a fancy waste of time
Now I'm not one to judge
What a young woman does
and I certainly don't think that it's a crime
--But she's always drinking wine

Your cats are cool
And your bird can sing
You hit me twice
And I didn't feel a thing
Your eyes so heavy
And your lips so red
To live without you--
I'd rather be dead
It was the best of times
A girl like Vicki is hard to find
Living the West Coast dream
Hey Vicki Vicki did you have to be mean?
You hear all the time
Cause your girlfriends say,
"Don't sweat Vicki, he'll be okay"
I couldn't believe it
So it had to be true
I fought the crowd
But I couldn't get through
It was the best of times
A girl like Vicki is hard to find
Living the West Coast dream
Hey Vicki Vicki did you have to be mean?
She was a friend of mine
I just went along for the ride
Call it a suicide
But a girl like Vicki is hard to find
(A girl like Vicki is hard to find)
...
She was a friend of mine
I just went along for the ride
Call it a suicide
But a girl like Vicki is hard to find
(A girl like Vicki is hard to find)
(A girl like Vicki is hard to find)

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
