Cheekface – Wind Is Gone [lyric video]

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Salome Hajj played harp
Barry Fowler played violin

Good morning fellow losers
Good morning fellow scholars
Do you like making money?
Do you like being weird?
An emergency contact
A text from your mom
A generation gap year with a certain je ne sais quois

Good morning fellow perverts
Good morning middle spoons
Do you think it’s over?
It really seems like it’s over
Do you want to argue?
I don’t want to argue
We should donate all our money to um
Something. Something good

There are problems with the wind
But the wind is gone
There are issues at the plant
The workers can’t carry on
If you need a sign, you can bang my line
Dial 999-9999

The bygones are gone
But what’s gone is not forgotten
There are issues at the plant
And the foreman cannot solve 'em
If you need a sign, you can bang my line
Dial 999-9999

Behold the marble gods
Behold the golden statues
Behold the piece of birthday cake the size of Lincoln’s shoe
Now close your tab
Close all your tabs
You have reached the end of reading

Behold the mansions
Behold the Tesla McDonald’s
Behold the ketchup. The other other red meat.
And that concludes my prepared remarks
I will now be taking questions

How is everything song these guys make immediately stuck in my head like what are they putting in these tracks

[ozone_bioshere_ocean]

just feeling the need to comment that the songs i've heard so far from this new album carry a "is this what it was all for? Oh well." bittersweet mood. This decade represents an ending to something large, going on unnoticed with little fizzles-out amid the din of the usual bombastic bangs we've become numb to.
Where does a social species/society go from here? It's up to the individual to decide that for ourselves now

[Riverbequirky]

This album has some serious BANGER lyrics. Good morning fellow perverts! Thank you for dropping my new obsession for the following months.

[adrianmendez]

I love the string sound in the back :) and how it kind of harmonizes with the dial tone. Guys tbh my cheeks are freaked.

[ThatNotSoAznKid]

It's like if They Might be Giants and Cake had a baby. And I'm here for it.

[MagicalShotgun]

Saw the album dropped and gave it a go, this is the last one I got to. Really stellar, honestly my favorite album from them yet, love all the extra instruments in this one. I give it a cheek/face

[ThatsAwesomeAndStuff]

[GemAGen]

[JBarker]
