lyrics
I was sad as a Christmas tree in February
high as the eyes of the Great Khali
had the look of a book at the library
that's been checked out one too many times
and I’d given up being given up
spent the last of my time
waiting on the world
from the back of the line
just another slice
of a dusty old lime
with no more juice to squeeze
squeeze it ‘til it’s dry
squeeze it ‘til you die
I'm a consumer of consumption
another user on the grid
baby boomers got the gumption to say:
“look here kid
if yer business ain't growing
then your business ain't shit
they don't sell your brand no more”
and the last virgin wood
has been found and cut down
now I'm selling my soul just to live in this town
that was built to the hilt
sky scrapers to the ground
to squeeze the last drop dry
so squeeze it ‘til it’s dry
you gotta squeeze
squeeze it ‘til you die
all your life is the point of an arrow
as it's pulled from the quiver with ease
pulled back, swift
softly released
and plunged into the reckoning squeeze
so squeeze
squeeze that sucker dry
you gotta squeeze
squeeze it ‘til you die
Cooler than that half bottle of rye you left in the snow last night. Warm as the couch you just woke up on. Bright as the Sunday morning winter sun... indoor with sunglasses on. d2tharoc
Nashville’s Passion Fruit Boys nail the effervescent janglepop of ’80s college radio with bright guitars and immediate hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 1, 2022
I saw Trace Mountains open for Wild Pink at DC9 in Washington, D.C. I like Wild Pink a lot but Trace Mountains was an eye-opener that night, and I only later realized I had previously seen Dave Benton perform with LVL Up at the 9:30 Club. This album is just eminently listenable: great instrumentation, easy lyrics, a lot of spirit. Jake Grubman
