lyrics

The air was cold, and I was holding on to the

holiness of her chest, I confess, as far as the

rest goes I guess, in certain aspects of this mess,

you could say i'm always looking out for my best

when it came 'round time to be be exposed, my sights were nowhere to be found

certainly not on the ground, but then not quite to her eyes, oh what a

surprise I guess. i'll leave the rest to the imagination of the

best-dressed guesser familiar with the process of fornication



Her stare was cold, and I was hanging on to the

realization from this moment, so blessed that I wept,

over message that crept, over the nights that I slept,

and over the tears and the sweat and the guillotine’s hanging over my head

With the question left to be imposed, I was so slow to make a sound.

What goes around comes around, sometimes ends up in lost and found

but that'll be okay I guess, I'll just have to buck up and

be the bearer of the bad news - after all, someone's gotta tell the family, don’t they?



The case would fold, but I was going on, just to

see how many lacerations told the story of great breadth, of a heavy

heart on a heavy chest, of a heavy breast where it rests best

where the bare-boned denizens invited them into the thin water, hey, won't ya swim?

With my sins still left to be atoned, well, I was left frozen to the ground -

Geneva conventions beneath inventions with the sound of a sudden

halt in progress. I won't be the last bastard to quote the axioms of a dead poet

to justify my actions even though I know that I done did wrong, didn’t I?



The air was cold, and I was holding on to the

holiness of her chest, I confess, as far as the

rest goes I guess, in certain aspects of this mess,

you could say i'm always looking out for my best

when it came 'round time to be be exposed, my sights were nowhere to be found

certainly not on the ground, but then not quite to her eyes, oh what a

surprise I guess. i'll leave the rest to the imagination of the

best-dressed guesser familiar with the process of reciprocation

about

Lounge on Fire image

Lounge on Fire

A 7-deep battalion with a horn section, fused from the ashes of indie rock, seductive soul, and psychedelic funk, Lounge on Fire is a cacophony of formidable freaks. Rapid and percussive vocals often combine with dark and hypnotic grooves reinforcing a boisterously brassy fanfare to create a unique coalescence of rock, soul, jazz, Latin, disco, hip hop, and funk. ... more
