2 sisters ever so inseparable 1 saw right through me, 1 i handed an apple I tried to change their chemistry I tried to make one stick to me She could make your tongue your tongue stick to the sun Maybe if i lay low, love will fall around my door (the dogs'll let me know) Suck it up, sharon, maybe it's time You and your sister finally sever the line Don't pass me over again Your fickle heart's unwaverin' Maybe if i lay low, love will fall around my door and Maybe it won't, but your cold eyes, baby, Tell me I should be looking for love with some other (girl) Come on girl this isn't fun (some other girl's) got me head tied to the sun. Should i chose not to run? Heard you laughing behind your friend getting in th' car again now you're acting like she was preteeeeeeeeeeeending we can walk the road, kickin' up the dust we can take it slow stop me if you want let me in yr love, that's all that i want let me in yr love - it's sticky when we touch...

Fell asleep in a boring fountain Woke up with an unkind word in my mouth Too late, but I kept countin' Every bump in the highway as I headed down south We're losing something now A house divided, a golden cow we're losing something now, by the way i feel nothing by the way i feel sorry for you by the time you feel something 'bout that time I'll be through with you yeah yeah Gone quick to another country Came back to find the same thing on tv I left a little bag and an open door but it never occurred to me she said light candles around me i saw light everywhere now it surrounds me

Tell me does your body know how it's supposed to g(r)o(w) Tell me to ignore somethin I adore Let me know you know and I can leave you alone no, i won't start no war just to keep you warm she's made of fire hooks and wire Things that turn - things that make you learn We left that night and we could see them critters. This could be right if you could see the clear light In my head, in my dreams, you were inside of me

Modern Mystery (free) 04:19 video
It's a pointless small place On a map in outerspace Every second, every day you're gone Got a job but I can't keep working on, yeah I think you are so annointed that's why you get so disappointed i swear you are so important nothing you do is pointless, yeah there is no modern mystery no "mystic chords of memory" there is no modern mystery we're makin up our history You could really put me in my place On a map in outer space You got a real cool constitution and that's a come-on, but it's not an allusion.

Birds on the pillow And paper lanterns hangin' from the ceiling Sticky stars aglow Mapin' out some constellation I'm tired of standing in the light outside her window For her I would row to the ends of my imagination. Pleasure to behold A silhouette so real yet oh so static Measured and controlled Lets down her hair, takes off her army jacket I'm trying to figure out what's right - do i stay or go? For all she doesn't know...

Think I Wanna Die (free) 02:49 video
Think I wanna die if you don't stay drop dead in place you can forget it. Carry a torch for days. I'm gonna let it burn I remember watching as you slowly loaded up the loom. On repeat: Caravan and we danced around the room. Once insecure about yr scar but I think you got over it. Dreampt of marimbas made from the bones of our relatives, who never live as long as we think that they oughta live. You dreampt of ( ) I tried to get my head around that one! Left in a disguise for the faraway Traveled all alone through open meadows while I sat at home wishing we could elope... Will you ever know what you do to me? I'm on my broken knees, no end of sorrow Sorry if that's twee it's just tomorrow's hope.

How'd you get so smart? Waxin candles and burning cobwebs? I guess you broke my heart But maybe that's all it's there fer Goodnight to the sunlight Tell the fruit trees I'm all right We need to proofread till the publisher agrees that You could write a novel Tonight. When you get that look It let's me know that you're really thinkin' I'd love to read your book But first I think I need to learn how to read.

You know he'll talk to other girls The map topographer - he's in his own world The court stenographer - he'll copy everything The news photographer - he's not listening You're into me - will you always be? If we're in too deep... (he'll only be) The Oceanographer I'd capsize in your cerulean eyes If we're in too deep... Wooh!

HEERS 03:25
Tipsy with St. John he's got me feelin' like a kid on halloween And he asks me what I wanna be. I got nothin to say He says that's ok he says. I don't either but I got my dreams and maybe some are Apparitions in the fog. But still I see them Down in my soul like little girls in bows held up on Little boys' shoulders. Do people, when they're older, See distances on maps get smaller And promises of happiness stall'd? I wanna see you again. Now she's drawnin' circles in the air The ground is movin' under me but to where? Met Ms. Susie and she got a puke-red apple in the ball of her chin. So I hugged her neck And said I'm sorry for the way I been She said aw that's ok. Into my shoulder she said oh-oh-oh-oh Now that i'm older The distances on maps have gotten smaller And promises of happiness stalled I wanna see you again.

about

Our album Pershing was recorded in March 2007 at Fred's loft in Wilmington, N.C., and from August to December at the Bentley's carriage house - a place of some mystery whose history we tried to do justice. It was mostly engineered by Jonathan James, except when one of us got antsy and threw up some mics. We all sort of produced it, and Jonathan mixed with a little help from Jason Spell. TW Walsh mastered it.
