lyrics

I know the world and it seems so cruel but it’s good to you. Sitting in your house with the TV on wondering what to do. You analyze with your magazine eyes and you’re up all night. There’s no easy way, and there’s no way around, there’s no short cut plan.

Fast times, slow rides, I am reeling, damn if I can tell you what I am really feeling.
Fast times, slow rides, I am reeling, damn if I can tell ya, damn if I can tell ya.

Little bit wrong and a little bit right, and I am waiting. Waiting for my bones to talk to me and tell me what to do. Under the ground taking those photographs. You don’t have to wait for the stars to align in your favor.

Fast times, slow rides, I am reeling, damn if I can tell you what I am really feeling.
Perk up little daddy, and listen to my story, you got to get up off, get up off the floor.

Lights, cameras, action, roll in sound till I drown. I said lights, satisfaction, never sounds like I thought it would.

Fast times, slow rides, I am reeling, damn if I can tell you what I am really feeling.
Fast times, slow rides, I am reeling, damn if I can tell ya, damn if I can tell ya.
the world is cruel, but it’s good to you. You’ve got to get up off get up off the floor.

about

17th Chapter Seattle, Washington

“17th Chapter is an interesting band in that it manages to meld two fairly standard musical aesthetics to create something of its own sound...a talent for constructing churning dance-rock beats... languid, almost- folksy aesthetic that is as breezy as the band’s rock side is blistering.”
