lyrics

I went away to get my blood changed
Had my wires a-rearranged
You might think that I’m acting strange
It’s just me acting tough
I fired a shot right through the floor
The circus ran straight for the door
You ask me what I did that for
I guess I had enough

Flying cars and ricochets
Not a soul escapes unscathed
You might think those were the days
They’re best left to the past
Bodyguards in the hall playing chess
How I survived is anyone’s guess
But when you’re a cat with one life left
You learn to move real fast

A long shadow - follows me around
A long shadow - after the sun goes down
What I gotta do to prove to you
If you only knew how I made it through
This long shadow

Blinds are drawn and the deadbolt clicks
Those dirty dogs’ll rip you to bits
All that funky junkie shit
You just ask my mates
I still got my ring and my broken tooth
I can take your piss and spit the truth
The dope and the cops
may have served some use
That’s open to debate
The wind in the trees sounds like a car
The headlight sun ain’t very far
You gonna stay right where you are
Or hitch a ride

A long shadow - follows me around
A long shadow - after the sun goes down
What I gotta do to prove to you
If you only knew how I made it through
This long shadow
This long shadow
This long shadow

about

Fireships Brooklyn, New York

“Accessible and anthemic, Fireships are also as cutting edge as rock bands get these days… you could call it Americana chamber pop… Andrew Vladeck writes fearlessly populist, Dylanesque narratives, and the band gets gritty with some pretty straight-up highway rock from time to time.” ~ New York Music Daily ... more
