THEME 2
(wordless)
VOICE CHOICE
day out
night in
time arrives
to begin
voice choice
voice choice
weekend
week on
dream away
dream alone
voice choice
voice choice
month here
month there
tossed about
everywhere
voice choice
voice choice
fall down
spring up
all the same
all is luck
voice choice
voice choice
year earn
year spend
cycle forth
til the end
voice choice
voice choice
life in
death out
who am i? (who are you?)
let's find out
voice choice
voice choice
MUSHROOM CITY
under the rays of a local sun
thawing the faces of everyone
¡life times improvised!
cut from the strings of the bourgeois
we drifted to land in good company
¡retreat for the freaks!
four in the shadow of thirty-five
learn how to breathe on the other side
¡new world party girls!
caught between abnormal and askew
Mushroom City burns inside of you
splitting and melting from frozen minds
rolling along through the cracks of time
¡unfazed future wave!
our blue asylum of paradise
bleeds at the seams into vacant wilds
¡unfurled culture swirl!
migrating slowly from trailer parks
buzzing so high in the sultry dark
¡eastside hairy guys!
tossed between ecstatic and confused
Mushroom City hides inside of you
lost between the forest and the trees
Mushroom City lives inside of me
----------
we are waiting for you now
across the street in our purple house
just an inch from the open wide
mister, won't you come outside?
lightly tread through the jungle lawn
night and day see the porch light on
you could never be denied
mister, won't you step inside our...?
----------
through time, a paradise has passed me by
between the worry lines and sleepy eyes
i know the shallow cause
unburdened ego jealousy
tonight the city lights will soon ignite
to stage the masquerade and mesmerize
i cross the borderline
as fences gently fall away
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
i see...
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
like me...
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
is me...
----------
(instrumental section)
----------
Mushroom City...
a gathering dawn
astounding beyond
the staggering new
is growing on you

Portland shoegaze that plays, as the best representatives of the genre do, with huge, hollow atmosphere against intimate observations. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 23, 2016
