about

A requiem to the suburban experience and post-modern progress, 'The Lights' is the second single from the upcoming album 'Meeting of the Dons'.

lyrics

Lyrics:
We were all singing
About the buildings coming down
While we were coming down
And the signs all scattered around
And became collectors items

I was crossing the highway
Dodging tumbling cardboard
Useless pixels on billboards
Selling family law for divorce
Sand dunes under pavement cracking

And it’s all covered up ‘til nothing’s left
So you don’t feel right
And at dusk you were three abreast
Walking into the night

And on came the lights
On came the lights

We were building sandcastles
Well below the tide line
To let nature reclaim our designs
And cancel out all the highrise viewlines
Of the sad old horizon unblinking

And it’s all covered up ‘til nothing’s left
So you don’t feel right
And at dusk you were three abreast
Walking into the night

And on came the lights
On came the lights
