lyrics

I don’t know what’s happening
But suddenly this town seems kind of evil
Waking up on Christmas morning
After all the paper has been torn
We can only hope the horror
Burns off like the morning fog in April
But sometimes it’s tattooed across you
From the day you’re born


Rising up from prescient dreams
To realize that you have not been sleeping
Tell me that you’ve got a better way
To toss the sheets and start your day
Black out all the windows and
Don’t raise your lids until the coffees beeping
Repeat your favorite mantra
It’s all gonna be ok

Pull down the shades
Nail down the sash
I’ll put a record on
Oh what a future
There’s no time to write a happy song
No

What if you could do it all again
Would you skip out on the comfy easy for more time with friends
Would you go a little further away
Move a little further away

Middle of the day
The pictures slipping through your fingers
Knuckle down there’s surely
Many different ways to get it out
Rearrange the outcome
But the process has been wrong from the beginning
The sun is setting and my mood is going south

Hold your chin up right
Saddle up it’s time to get along
Lace your boots up tight
Someone’s out there writing happy songs
Oh

What if you could do it all again
Would you skip out on the comfy easy for more time with friends
Would you go a little further away
Move a little further away

Michelles is a band from Chicago, described by Atwood Mag as “pairing MGMT’s psychedelia perfectly with The Smiths’ raw candor and heart-on-sleeve sincerity”. It’s a bit of a stretch to call Michelles a band, as it is the singular vision of Michael Daly, who writes and plays nearly every sound heard on every recording. ... more
