lyrics

BACKLIT

pretend to look busy
but you’re wide-eyed and you're clinging to the balcony

you are backlit
You aren’t dreaming
difficult ridin on a real wave
difficult pushin on your wild take
difficult putting it under your tongue
when it’s dirty when it’s what you really want

try to be noisy
but you’re so damp the sound just soaks through everything
i’m aching
cuz you cut the line that cuts right through me
what’s the cost when I don’t feel free
the entrance fee’s my see-through body

you are backlit
you aren’t dreaming
difficult ridin on a real wave
difficult pushing on your wild take
difficult putting it under your tongue
when it’s dirty, when it’s what you really want

you really want a clean laundry romance
ooh sha la la la la la
you’re backlit, you aren’t dreaming
there’s this hollywood around me

Versions of Modern Performance

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
