lyrics
Come forward, walking backward, up Downing Street
Slap a baby, kiss a leper, cut off both your feet.
I don't want to be disconnected from my disconcerted brain
Give up the once familiar, now long-lost refrain
Are you afraid of life?
Are you afraid of living?
Once I earned it, and then I stole it, I took all I could grab
There was a virgin, a gorgeous harlot and an overrated dad
Everything was washing over me on that day
It might be kind of fucked up, but it's fucked up in its own way
Are you afraid of life?
Are you afraid of living?

The new EP from NYC’s best live rock band is a scorcher, full of bleak, driving guitars and topped with dark, prophetic vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2021
