lyrics
Controllable machinery
The faces and the words in between
Everybody knows about the little things
Close my eyes and start to walk
My sister’s birthday I forgot
Nothing counts when it’s just talk
I fell into a hole in the ground
down to the center of my hometown
Scratched my way through roots of all the family trees
Underground, but in the scene
A superstar to all the teens
Massaging all the numbers ’til I win
I never know what I’m about to do
Los Angeles is calling, too
But, would the Valley pull me under?
Spacecraft hovering in the night
I know that I’ll get out alive
if I squint my eyes and stare at the sun
Once I jumped into the ocean, it carried me away
Stripped off all my clothes and swam away from shore
Thought I saw you floating just a hundred feet away
Then you were gone…then you were gone
I remembered how you smelled and your fingers on my face
I thought that it would last forever, but that was not the case
Something happens to your body when you know
you might not…might not get out alive
Controllable machinery
The faces and the words in between
Everybody knows about the little things
On the first new High Llamas record in 6 years, Sean O’Hagan creates abstract tracks that reflect the kaleidoscopic palette of modern pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2024
Bouncy, jangly power pop with a slash of acidic shadow, as the very best twee always has. From Boston, they met at band camp (not Bandcamp). Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 2, 2019
