lyrics

I'm looking for a hole in the golden cup
Looking for a reason why we've become so stuck

Living on the line of my invisible phone
Living on the ocean where I come from
It's all been done before and I know I'll do it again

People always get me wrong
I'm not angry-just bitter bitter bitter
The seasons will change but not my temperament
Steady Rollin' like the wind, like the wind, like the wind

Can I have your shoulder to cry on?
Can I have your back to load up all my problems?
I'll get you back I'll get you back

Won't get over this one, won't even try
I wanted something better than this world could supply
I'm a bankrupt baby paying his dues
Working for tomorrow, can you live in my shoes?
Will they fit you? Suffocate you? Eat you alive?

People always get me wrong
I'm not angry-just bitter bitter bitter
The seasons will change but not my temperament
Steady Rollin' like the wind, like the wind, like the wind

Can I have your shoulder to cry on?
Can I have your back to load up all my problems?
I'll get you back I'll get you back

You're lucky; you lived fast, the fastest
You know you had a head start
You're not getting any younger, so slow down
You're only gonna fall apart

Can I have your shoulder to cry on?
Can I have your back to load up all my problems?
I'll get you back I'll get you back

I'll get you back
I'll get you back
Ohh I'll get you back

about

CAIRO Toronto, Ontario

We have an affinity for haunting quiet & ambient walls of sound. Our music – sometimes orchestral & sometimes minimal – can be characterized as elemental and strangely familiar while remaining explorative and raw. We love almonds, water & boat loads of reverb. ... more
