lyrics

When the blue flashing frames from a TV screen,
show some shooting star out as she splits the scene.

Silhouetting the bottle that's pressed to your face.
Counting down all the time 'till the end of the day.

Faster than I could see.
Faster than you or me.

If it's true that your head was just taking up space,
then why's the ghost of your smile still haunting this place.

Would you believe what I read in the news today?
Six whole years passed since you gave a rose parade.

Faster than I could see.
Faster than you or me.

Where that cloud of smoke goes now, only you know.

about

Trendy music disingenuously proclaiming the pains of being an outsider is hardly scarce. However, saying something genuine ... more in this arena requires actual experience; The Ultrasounds have improved tirelessly over the last decade, finally arriving at a new sound both dreamy and rooted in classic pop. less
