Back Against the Ocean
from Strange Resolutions EP by Wolf Blitzer (the band)
lyrics
Marshall Cady, Cesar, and Sadie
Are up to old tricks, thick strips, and big tips
But they're just unwitting actors in a movie about you
And they're working on their lines
When I can't get through to you
I tilt at windmills and at oncoming cars
I lie across the crosswalks
When I'm tired
And I'm so tired
Daughter of the solstice
My back against the ocean
So you sit in your acropolis
Just counting on your fingers and toes
Each one another year that you need not live
As you hold your breath just to spite your nose
Kind daughter of the solstice
My back against the ocean
Kind daughter of the solstice
What you drive me to
My back against the ocean
There's nothing I can do
So balance be with me between bicycle and bumper
Undercarriage don't pull me undertow
Daughter of the solstice
What you drive me to
My back against the ocean
There's nothing I can do
Are up to old tricks, thick strips, and big tips
But they're just unwitting actors in a movie about you
And they're working on their lines
When I can't get through to you
I tilt at windmills and at oncoming cars
I lie across the crosswalks
When I'm tired
And I'm so tired
Daughter of the solstice
My back against the ocean
So you sit in your acropolis
Just counting on your fingers and toes
Each one another year that you need not live
As you hold your breath just to spite your nose
Kind daughter of the solstice
My back against the ocean
Kind daughter of the solstice
What you drive me to
My back against the ocean
There's nothing I can do
So balance be with me between bicycle and bumper
Undercarriage don't pull me undertow
Daughter of the solstice
What you drive me to
My back against the ocean
There's nothing I can do
