lyrics
UTERUS WILL
(Aki'Base, Lia Hide, George Rados)
And then one day we die, my love, in concrete sculptured greyhound flats
One day we perish, silly dwarfs, as traffic shifts its lights
From green to red. I halt, I stop, I ran but got to nowhere
I wasted everything my love: a greedy, smart Tom Sawyer
And then one day we die, my love of shiver chills, of silver cars
One day we sleep, make love no more, but waves still crash the stars
From bubbly white to golden sand I ran but got to nowhere
I wanted wings my liege, my dove, my will, my deed, my lover
And then one day we die, my love, a death that's sweet and shift
And sour as the sun; we fade to grey so readily
We liquify our hearts, alive, we suck the essence of our greed
and then one day we die, my love, but none Godified our plea
I trust, I hold, I ask, I'm told, I ran but got to nowhere,
I wanted wings my Ikarus I was the unknows soldier,
Aνάγκη mother of all fate, Aγάπη lover of the weak,
Bία, and then one day we die my love, we got to know her
And then one day we die, my love but I made you immortal
I pictured you, I painted you in blue, in gold, in coral
From green to red the traffic lights grew numb, no-one was driving
I wanted diamonds for your thoughts and we did was lying
And then one day we die, my love, but I made you immortal
I pictured you, I painted you in blue, in gold, in coral
How clean we bled the traffic lights when still, no-one was driving
I wanted diamonds for your thoughts and all we did was dying
If reincarnation is your thing, and you come back to find me
Remember that I liked Chopin
Dementia, sweet darling
Why won't you let go of me
My hands are old and shaking
I cannot find my key
Dementia, sweet husband
Why won't you let go of me
My hands are old and shaking
I cannot find my key
Dementia, sweet husband
Why won't you marry me
I gave you all my legos
Go build a house for me

We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again! BoneWalker
