Radio Paradise (mobile)

Had a dream
You and me and the war of the end-times
And I believe
California succumbed to the fault line
We heaved relief
As scores of innocents died
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lay of Nebraska alight
Till all that remains is the arms of the angels
Hetty Green
Queen of supply-side bonhomie bone-drab
You know what I mean?
On the road
It's well advised that you follow your own bag
In the year of the chewable Ambien tab
And the Panamanian child
Stands at the dowager empress's side
And all that remains is the arms of the angels
And all that remains is the arms of the angels
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh
When you've receded into loam
And they're picking at your bones
We'll come home
We'll come home
Quiet now
Will we gather to conjure the rain down?
Will we now
Build a civilization below ground?
And I'll be crowned the community kick-it-around
And the Andalusian tribes
Setting the lay of Nebraska alight
Till all that remains is the arms of the angels
Till all that remains is the arms of the angels
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh
Ah-oo
Ah-oo-oh

Still very listenable, but seems more commercial - plus the obvious, albeit reasonable, R.E.M impersonation :) EDIT: Ohh - and now reading a comment further down, it dawns on me why and much kudos to them! Peter Buck is playing guitar... Now I feel like a fool, but at least I didn't delete my full comment :) [ Reply ]
joempie May 25, 2013 - 05:16	very overplayed indeed, especially considering this howling really sucks. how many more sucko-barfos will it take? amazing. makes my ears bleed every time... [ Reply ]
winotron Apr 01, 2013 - 13:29	I feel like I'm going to be hearing this song every day for the rest of my life. I don't even hate the Decemberists (and I still like their old stuff a good deal), but PLEASE make it stop... [ Reply ]
