about

The demo track for Century Gentry

lyrics

18th century gentry
run their dogs out in my street
in New York city
in a city

but who ever heard of foxes
makin dens in cardboard boxes
in a city?
in a city

I thought alot today
how their empire slipped away
and they stand still and wait
for something better

bigger, better,
and never the same
bigger, better,
and never the same

Gangs of lovable tomcats
roam around in coats and tophats
in a city
in a city

Invisible waves are breakin
as my consciousness is shaken
in a city
in a city

And I tell myself
whoa
don't let me down
and I tell myself
whoa
keep your feet on the ground
I convince myself
whoa
to stop hanging around with fools and ghosts
and doing nothing
but Im so good at nothing

Then I got much bigger
broke up the sky
smote the sun like a candle
poked god in the eye
I wanted to call you
I wanted to see if that's alright
so I ripped up a power grid
cast-netted a satellite
Heard words through the static
you said that everyone's dead
I said no no I just breathed them in
through my nose
they're somewhere hear in my head

And I guess,
you were right about me,
you're right about
me
you're right about
me your right about
me
you're right about me
