about

A track about growing up in the belly of mountains surrounded by drug celebs and gorgeous excess

lyrics

The first step out is always the best
the air hits lungs, tingle, anticipate
short change in long pockets
night beckons lets charge

My headphones crackle filled with rain
no worry switch off listen to the howl of the dark
car horns and puddles smash
Behind closed doors no one knows.

I switch around the corner and there he is waiting for me
Maestro Kenny
Licking the nights shadow smiling dangerous
we greet...the night is on

It's famous around here and we're centre spread
It's 11:20pm..kicking out means time to collect
Celebrity injected locals are u
Grab spend grab ingest slay the demon darkness.

Whilst butter churned belly does its signposting
Kenny, Tom, Rob all drop chemie wind
It is upon us we rise

That internal baseline echoes off lone walls and porn mag bushes
another nosebleed syncs with dog barks
we are free we are dangerous we are we.

Moon sticks her neck out the brave creature she is
bashed clouds disperse with a clip on the ear
Wahey there's Jay baking up goods and sending more troops down the golden sewer.

First time I was an imposter and it didn't go well.
No votes lets try again
now it's three times in a row
I'm an imposter again and I am victorious

Tingle fingers and flames give them a breath and it's time to kick on
for the night is no longer yours
it is old and fading and we want to squeeze the last bit of life out of it
Strangle the night and allow the morning to be reborn.

I'm cooked.
Too much smashed glass and misery
Light burns the head and eyelashes become encrusted in cement
Goodbyes, lies, been in bed all along, tea bed
thanks for lying
