lyrics

The spotlight slaps her in the face
wipes the shadows from her eyes, capillaries on pale white
The pressure will never let up now, it’s great so great
Missy presses against fences bricked tight so tight
She sprays the crowd with saccharine sound
So sweet it’s bound to rot your teeth, providing pain so great
but the story only floats if she keeps cutting her throat
No one gets a second chance so arrange it any way you can

Powdered noses pressed against tinted windows
Blank faces drunk on youth, fast talking and aloof
dragging boot heals down sidewalks, tough so tough
Dressed like winos in the gutters
Filled to the top with bitter little thoughts
of animal poses and animal poses
No one gets a second chance so arrange it any way you can

Missy Sport, holds a parking spot for a limousine
Missy Sport, coats her pearly whites in Vaseline
the doors are all locked tight while she toe taps to methamphetamines
The bus is up on blocks pointed at Memphis Tennessee
but we don’t know if the darling will make it home again, the same

Oceanography Oakland, California

Oceanography is the solo project of Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Kelly. He brings a unique pop sensibility to bittersweet songs of heartbreak, loss, and longing, recalling at times The War on Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and Damien Jurado. His literary eye for detail and deceptively powerful voice create moments of catharsis and beauty amid the bleak and mundane. ... more
