about

"This song goes from pop to a crazy fun house of experimental noise at the end." Parisa Eshrati - KAMP student radio Arizona

lyrics

Armagetty
Could I be so lucky?
Good and ready
Out in Pennsyltucky
Still then laughing in my room
At the countdown to our doom

Tried to vanish
Gave a sight to all my kind
Walking Spanish
I hoped all my kind were blind
Slowly taking a wrong step
It tickled in my mind

Red light is blinking
This ship is sinking
We'll all be drinking
Rain from your eyes

Bailing the water
Father and daughter
Presents you brought her
Rain from your eyes

Whoopsie Daisy
Think I partied with a knife
Getting lazy
In this paradox of life
How we hold our head is dumb
I guess I’m gonna break you off this some

Heard my first years
From a fairly distant age
Found my worst fear
Is that you will exit stage
Send the ashes to the moon
In a hollow peach balloon

Red light is blinking
This ship is sinking
We'll all be drinking
Rain from your eyes

Bailing the water
Father and daughter
Presents you brought her
Rain from your eyes

Down comes the curtain
Let go of burden
One thing is certain
Rain from your eyes
