lyrics
Chances are for the taking
When you’re solid and headstrong
Narrowing on an image
Throwing the rest in the scrap
Fortified, fixated
Yet you might have the facts wrong
Certain that something is missing
Without checking your pockets first
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Can make for a very bumpy ride
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
You’re standing on one side
But there’s twenty-five others
With views that don’t shine in silver and gold
But they happen to be strong
You won’t stop for a minute
Too many questions, avoiding the question
Starting to look like a cracking crook
When you’re sweating bullets
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Until they stick your flag at the top
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
Then forgetting it all as you may…
When you’re solid and headstrong
Narrowing on an image
Throwing the rest in the scrap
Fortified, fixated
Yet you might have the facts wrong
Certain that something is missing
Without checking your pockets first
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Can make for a very bumpy ride
Rising up on an ill-thought tide
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
You’re standing on one side
But there’s twenty-five others
With views that don’t shine in silver and gold
But they happen to be strong
You won’t stop for a minute
Too many questions, avoiding the question
Starting to look like a cracking crook
When you’re sweating bullets
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Until they stick your flag at the top
It’s getting bigger and it may not stop
Without thinking you’d fall down
Thinking slowly
Talking boldly
At best you may not melt in the lights
You might be the fool for a day
Then forgetting it all as you may…

Soft Riot recommends:
-
An unique approach crossing italo disco, epic synth and mythical themes.
go to album -
The third album from my old post-punk "revival" band that was active from 1998-2005, before social media was even a thing.
go to album -
A short lived psychedelic new wave post punk band I was in from 2009-2011, right before Soft Riot sort of kicked off. One of the strangest things I've put my fingerprints on.
