lyrics

when the city lights up
like the fourth of july
you slip into the crowd
and you feel so good
and the people you see
passing by on the street
they don't see you at all
they don't know you're on fire
and the city becomes
like a gelatin print
like an old photograph
that it took of itself
and the buildings become like the masts of a ship
sailing out to the sea
and new york sails
cross the sky.

the diminishing streets
are eclipsed by the air
turning black where it hangs
from a gallows of sky
and the night wraps around
your gelatin frame
and the city becomes a picture of itself
and the buildings become like the masts of a ship
sailing out to the sea
out to where you're free
new york sails
cross the sky.

Prairie Shanties of the Landlocked Mariner
by Rob Reid

Rob writes songs that are smart, quirky, and charming. If you like that sort of thing, you'll like Rob Reid. And if you don't like that sort of thing, then what the hell is wrong with you? Sensible Weather

Chickens
by Orion Rigel Dommisse

Even more lush & atmospheric than her previous release, What I Want From You Is Sweet. This album is sensuous swimming for those who like their music a little gothic. Sensible Weather
