lyrics

caffeine headaches and dirty snow banks
everybody’s sliding off the road
but its starting to clear up, the snow turns to rain but the road stays the same endless stretch
of salt stained gray
i could’ve just stayed in bed
but i’m teaching myself not to get so scared so easily

we ruined it by walking through it
it was only perfect until we got there
its not a very practical ground cover

and if i get so stressed about gas prices
why can’t i just download gasbuddy for my phone
do i know i would never stop to check it - maybe try while driving
but hopefully there’ll be someone in the car
who could check it for me

and i know that it just comes down to geography
but i feel like the grass is always greener there
and i know that it just comes down to geography
but i feel like the trees all grow taller there
and i know that its largely cause of geography
that I can’t be close to everybody
all at once

but in snow world
its hard to want to go outside
because we’ll ruin it
by walking through it

Torch Song
by Radiator Hospital

supported by 13 fans who also own “Ground Cover”

Stumbled across this great band because of Martha the band and I just love their sometimes melancholy garage-sound. Also I like the acoustic songs. I still remember seeing them live in my hometown when they were touring with Erica Freas and asked them for a setlist to have something to remember the great concert. It´s hanging on my wall since that day :) Ninehundredninetynine
