lyrics

CHORUS
We were singing in harmony
And you changed the key
You wanted to surprise me
I don’t like surprises baby

I was a person before I met the person who is you
You don’t know what I’ve been through
Don’t let it keep you up at night
Just bum my smokes and laugh at my jokes
And everything will be alright.

CHORUS

When I’m driving the car
And you fall asleep
I take you through the backstreets
And each turn is a change in my mind
It’s a chance I take, and when you awaken
Everything is always alright.

CHORUS

You are my Poseidon, and I am your Medusa
It’s a shame these days, you know,
They don’t make love like they useta
If you’d have been there, you’d do just like I do
I’m saving you!
Why don’t you want me to?

We split the bar at three a.m.
And spill onto Avenue C
And you turn to look at me
You wanna see something that’s true
Keep on walking, just because I ain’t talking
Doesn’t mean I ain’t thinking of you.

CHORUS

On The Charm of Abstraction, Lanahan abandons guitar for mesmerizing synths, intricately programmed beats, imaginative sampling, and occasional rhymes. Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
