about

this track is the thesis statement of the album, a triptych inspired by the 70s that starts in the present and travels back through time. the central image at the heart of the song is of a child in the backseat of a car imagining what it'll be like to be an adult. So we start with an adult perspective of being in a club, and are carried over a mosh pit into the back of car, where a child who knows "all the words to every song" is dreaming of the future.

lyrics

i feel like a sparkler
like the drugs are just coming on
the day is long if we want it
you make me feel like i just wrote a poem

*******

i feel little fucked up it’s great
i’m standing at the bar waiting to get laid
feeling loose feeling glued in my jeans
now i’m in the mosh pit surfing 500 feet
so many people care for my body
the singer laughs points right at me
i’m in love with myself and everybody
here’s my favorite part, where we all sing along
a girl cries cause it’s her favorite song

********

i am an fm radio baby
raised in the back of a car
i lean my head
against the window
draw pictures in the fog

fuck up then you die
i like to find things out on my own
i’m sorry i hurt you
you’re not alone

i like the backseat
i know all the words to every song
it looks like the trees
on the banks of the river
are gazing into a mirror

fuck up then you die
that’s an alright kind of life
you go to parties and meet people
spend too much time with some
