The Motion Sick - Winged Bicycle











Artist: The Motion Sick

Song: Winged Bicycle

Album: Various Artists - Consequence of Sound Celebrates One Year (2008)

 

Integrating pop melodies with socially voyeuristic lyrics in Kurt Vonnegut style prose, The Motion Sick leaves you thinking beyond usual romance parameters…

music

She lives in a warehouse
signs warning of fallout
She tells you to look out
shout when the coast is clear

She sees all the faces
trapped in clouds there are traces
apophenia and blankets
seeping bloodstains on the walls

and she cries and she calls out
and she cries as she falls down
and she cries as she calls out his name

I leave the lights on when you're lonely
I keep the rights wrong like you showed me
I burn the pages of your diary
just to keep your secrets safe

September's fear is twice as cold
December's tears turn to icicles
she pedals her winged bicycle
starves to fly away

and she cries and she calls out
and she cries as she falls down
and she cries as she calls out his name

she shudders across her room at night
shaking like a stick of dynamite
dancing just to forget about her days
