lyrics

We left the clocks a'tickin' on
A metronome for a slow song
We don't care how or when we get there
Car seat is steamin' in the sun
Forget it; walkin's way more fun
I've had it with technology
Let's break out bonds, for once be free
We won't be sold
Can't bottle up the light you know, and
We can't go home
Well the clock keeps spinnin', that's the way it goes
Slow down, distracted by the rain
We'll never make it back again
Been so damn long, I lost all direction
Keep at it, still can't hear a sound
But look at all these things we've found
Not clever, resolute. A tartan suit, just doin' our own thing
We won't be sold
Can't bottle up the light you know, and
We can't go home
Well the clock keeps spinnin', that's the way it goes
We won't stop being ourselves
'Till the day we dye the ground red, dye the ground red
And I'll keep humming to myself
The things you keep up on your shelf
Hidden from public eye
Fuck that, the sky is calling your name

The Michael Character Boston, Massachusetts

It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
