Megaphones EP by Cedarstrip Rocketship

Album Preview (For your ears only)

Megaphone 1: Running Red Lights

I still want to tell you

The things that I never did tell you

The small words we never got our mouths around

Think they go without saying

So we go on not saying a thing

And waiting for a day like today

For nights just like this

And the rain on the road

To come out of nowhere

Lights come out of nowhere

Cars come out of nowhere

Lives leave out of nowhere

You realize what never got said

I woke up alone

And I grabbed at the phone

Said I’ll be there as quick as I can

Now I’m wheeling around corners

And running red lights

The windshield wipers

Swing to the beat of my heart

It may be already too late

But I’m still going to try

It may be already too late

But I’ve still got to drive, drive, drive

It may be already too late

But I’d try

If there was a hope left in Hell

I could save you

But where am I going to find a megaphone

At this time of night?

Megaphone II: The Thinnest of Threads

i made you up a list of pretty things in this big old world

made you up a list of pretty things in this cold dark world

i made you up a list of pretty things in this darkass world

and they're tying me to life by the thinnest of threads 

the thinnest of threads

but where am i going to find a megaphone at this time of night? 

where' am i supposed to find a megaphone at this time of night? 

where's a fellow find a megaphone at this time of night? 

so you'll come in off of that windowsill

i need you off of that windowsill. 

or i guess i just need you.  

so i made you up a list of pretty things in this big old world

made you up a list of pretty things in this cold dark world

i made you up a list of pretty things in this darkass world

and there’s four, five, man, there’s six million things on here 

there's six million things!  

six million things

so kick up your feet while they're still good for dancing

kick up your feet before they're no good for anything

kick out your feet, they look so good for dancing,

they look like you could move like….

we all fall down

kick up your feet like they’re just good for dancing

kick up your feet before they're no good for anything else

kick up your feet, they look so good for dancing,

they look like you could move like, like, look, look….

you’re wasting such a fucking pretty song

the music's over sooner than we thought

death comes for the best of us

the world is ending

now who would have thought you could dance like that? 

i never would have guessed you could dance like that, no no

i've never seen anyone dance like that!  

you move like….

you move like the world is ending!

i tied the moon to the earth

and the earth to the sun
by the thinnest of threads

they are strung

i tied the moon to the earth

and the earth to the sun
by the thinnest of threads

and you are one

you are one

we all fall down

so kick up your feet

there’s six million things

you are one

the world is ending

Trans Canada

there's no shortcut

there's no straight line

the highwayman defines my sleeping country

ghost horse in my head

keeping time

wandering minds

trans canada....

hot dice keep it rolling

trying to lose all our nothing

now familiar, now forgotten

forget goodbyes

forget the song

here and gone

trans canada.

i had that vision, brother

the one about you, brother

we did ride

ride on the shining path together

that hell-black angel, i was on her side

burned out of Deep River

looking into the night

no vacancies for so long

trans canada

Hell and gone

Korsakoff

You know, if you’ve been wondering lately

If it’ll ever drive you crazy

It has

It already has

But we would never tell you that

Cause it would only make you sad

And it won’t change what you did

We can’t change what you did

You know what I’ve been wondering lately?

Not that I lose much sleep these days

But oh, it’s damn near drove me crazy

Are you in there?

Hey, are you still in there?

Would you smile if you were in there?
Just fucking wink if you are in there

Some silent spark or little ember

To let us know that you remember

Because I just know if you were in there

That I could find you

And I could bring you back

I could bring you back
