lyrics

Cosmically multicolored covered in shade
These dolls all got their favorite hues to slang
Everyone wants to be so rich and famous
Just fetch my drink, I don’t care what your name is
So click yo’ heels and get back to Kansas
This here’s my town, you ain’t allowed to trespass
I’m just gon’ do me, you can do what you do best
Try to be deep but then you drown just like all the rest

I’ve got to wake up from this weekend scene
Mobs and masquerades, ambitious dreams
Behind Friday moonlight, bourbon curtains
Dancing alone with just me and my burdens

I bomb the scene, atomic kitty couture
Stepped out so confident, but now you’re not sure
One look at me and honey just can’t handle
Fake acting nice and then you whisper “Goddamn you”
Prepping my armor, I am here to slay
Just paint my portrait, call me Dorian Gray
So down another neon drink just to ease your pain
And do another line of diamond dust and pink cocaine

I’ve got to wake up from this weekend scene
Mobs and masquerades, ambitious dreams
Behind Friday moonlight, bourbon curtains
Dancing alone with just me and my burdens
These lights so bright I’ll never be unseen
Mobs and masquerades, and vicious schemes
Behind Friday moonlight, bourbon curtains
Dancing alone with just me and my burdens

Get it by myself

The trio is comprised of longtime collaborators Ralston Henry (vocals), Chris Ramirez (drums), and Miles Safford (multi-instrumentalist). Their musical mixture is equal parts current alterna-pop, classic rock, and radio RnB. ... more
