lyrics
You got the last word
But you always deserved the last laugh
There’s another show to head to
And you’re not looking back
And the green room is a-hummin’
And my ears ring loud as hell
I’ve been reading between the lines
But there’s only so much I can tell
So kick off your shoes
I’ll climb over the gate
I heard you talking
But you’re guaranteed to be late
The TV is humming
And the books are flying off the shelves
I heard someone knocking on my door
But my address I’ll never tell
I hear someone laughing
They sound like they know me well
I’ve been reading between the lines
But there’s only so much I can tell
So kick off your shoes
I’ll climb over the gate
I heard you whispering
But you’re guaranteed to be late
You got the last word
But you always deserved the last laugh
There’s another show to head to
And you’re not looking back
So kick off your shoes
I’ll climb over the gate
I heard you singing
But you’re guaranteed to be late

Restless, agitated no wave for modern times built around razor-sharp guitar and roiling percussion from Jane Doe Ensemble. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2022
Synths abound on the new single from Hearts and Rockets—icy cold, sharp, and minimal, and topped with a punk rock sneer. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2020
