lyrics

Windows shatter the cold’s in
Doors are slammed and you’re taken
To a time when you were king of this castle but all
Your courts and servants have left you
Queen got sick and took her cue
Now you’re left to look for remnants under tombstones
Now
Now

Saw your face in the paper
Something ‘bout an old caper
Smiling ear to ear pinned to a corkboard
Printed pages are nice
But it’ll never suffice
To tell the future all ‘bout your characters
Role
Oh

And I don’t think that it’s right that all this life leads to slumber
And I don’t think that it’s right that we leave this life to go under
The floors we swept and the friends we kept
Leave the now for the never
Cause no one knows what it’s like living
Underground

Push and pull for the picture
Call in sick to go with her
Fire and flames aren’t much when you’ve got oceans
Take her hand and you smile
Yeah she’ll be yours for a while
But we’re all on loan
She’ll be going back
Home
She’ll be called back home

You may be put on the shelf
But don’t feel bad for yourself
This wheel was turning long before you took hold
The rain pours down on your head
But it beats lying in bed
Waiting for that whisper child it’s time to
Go
Oh

And I don’t think that it’s right that all this life leads to slumber
And I don’t think that it’s right that we leave this life to go under
The floors we swept and the friends we kept
Leave the now for the never
Cause no one knows what it’s like living
Underground

Life goes by while you’re blinking
Sit around and you’re thinking
One more try and then I’ll leave it til tomorrow
But yesterday was some other day’s tomorrow
Too

Cause time waits for no man waits for no man
Time waits for no man waits for no man
Time ain’t yours man

And I don’t think that it’s right that all this life leads to slumber
And I don’t think that it’s right that we leave this life to go under
The floors we swept and the friends we kept
Leave the now for the never
Cause no one knows what it’s like living
Underground

Keats Conlon Windsor, Ontario

An upcoming singer/songwriter who takes after her poet namesake, Keats Conlon paints pictures in thin air and spills her heart to any audience she encounters. Alternately sweet and devastating, Keats' songs constantly challenge your assumptions as to what a woman can do with just her voice and a guitar. Prepare for delicate, playful, and visceral songs that you won't want to end. ... more
