lyrics

The men who built our town
Are now drunk and dishonored
Is this how you want it?
They burned our symphonies
Our psalms and our sonnets
All our seascapes and still lives
My darling, is this how you want it?
When we were closer
Than any two would dare
But we never made it there

The house where we dawdled
Is now empty and haunted
Is this how you want it?
But the mice have been driven out
And the snakes have been corners
And the moths have surrendered
My darling, is this how you want it?
When we were closer
Until it almost felt like home
But we closed the night alone

The railways, runways and tar
Are outside awaiting you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll nail your heart to a start
While heaven is baiting you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll hold you until it hurt you
What are you waiting for?
I’ll kiss you ‘til your good sense deserts you
What are you waiting for?

Is this how you want it?
Well that isn’t going to bring us closer

Closer
As we stumbled toward the door
Closer
As we fumbled for the oars
Just like he rows
But he gets no closer to shore

The Daylilies Massachusetts

The Daylilies are a new band composed of living relics of Boston rock and roll history, including ex-members of the Fast Easy Women, Mistle Thrush, Reverse, PermaFrost & the Feather Lungs. Their sound can most easily be described as “pop,” though electronic rock, post-grunge and new wave are also frequently accurate. Triangulation finds their sound somewhere between Garbage, The Cars and Low. ... more
