lyrics

Kathy’s in the city tonight
The backlit signs appeal to her market demographic slice
Last boy never treated her right
Kathy’s not some hill to conquer
He learned it from his father
“Boy, you only beat the nightmare by becoming the monster”

Spring is in bloom
I'm hoping to take root

“Have I seen you around before?”
“Unlikely, staring at the floor”
The laughter’s filled with pity
I don't care, I picked the right night to hit the city

Saddled with the weight of these tired traditions
The same old psalm fits the same old mission
At some point it all starts to lose its sheen

Right there basking in the glow of her mobile device
Kathy sighs while the content reflects off of her eyes
My little lighthouse turns me away in the night

An impression to behold
Brittle as a plaster mold
Shattered by expectations
Here's a lesson in expectations:
In New Orleans there are no basements

If there's one thing that Kathy imparted to me:
In New Orleans, there are no basements.

You call this device an upgrade?
Every pixel exaggerates my age
Those lines don't go that way
It's got the lines all out of place
