Out to ride, three worlds collide Your arms are on the table Speed elides with mountain drive Your arms are on the table And that's why You're so far away Turn around and turn inside Your arms are oh the table Worlds collide in mountain drive Your arms are on the table And that's why You're so far away

What’s it like to control the hippies And drink away the pain? What’s it like to control the buggies And drive into the rain? Accelerate the pain And light me up What’s it like to destroy the greedy And speed away the game? What’s it like to control the hippies And drive into the pain? Accelerate the pain And light me up Go looking at your game Did you think that you would have enough? Accelerate the pain Did you think that you would have enough?

Accelerate the pain And light me up Go looking at your game Did you think that you would have enough? Accelerate the pain Did you think that you would have enough? Night of the Locust Who goes out in the dead of night? On and on and on in the pale moonlight? And how do you get to say just how it goes? How you get to say How it goes and goes and goes? Who goes out at night? The people are the problem, now It’s better in the pale moonlight It’s better when you work And the nighttime is the same And the feeling never rearranges The nighttime is to blame Take it together Who goes out at night? For better and for worse and now Your mind is like “alright it’s honey on the hearse” And the nighttime is the same And the feeling never rearranges The nighttime is to blame Take it together The high water mark Down and down again The high water marked my friend Who goes out at night? The people are the problem, now

Every time I see those sugar sweet eyes Every time I take you out for a drive Every time I see those liquor store smiles Every time I take you down for a while Every time I sold you out Your eyes were all shut down Every time I sold you, God I sold you out Every time I see those sugar cane eyes Every time we’re going out for a drive Every time I see those liquor lick smiles Every time we’re going out for a while Every time I sold you out Your eyes were all shut down Every time I sold you, God I sold you out

Bet you two Bet you three Five is fine You’re still the one Back of the pew At the Holy See Five is fine You’re still the one I’ve been away For so long I’ve been away Far too long That’s what’s wrong Mountain light Mountain-sized Five is fine You’re still the one I’ve been away For so long The nights I prayed And you were gone You were gone so long

Hey la, la la la Hey la, hey la How could you come around Cosseted by your faith? How could you turn away Knowing what’s at stake? Breathe in the desert air Tell yourself you tried Breathe in the cool of the night Set the thing alight How’d you do How’d you know How’d you say Go and get fucked? Out today Out today Out to lunch Go and get fucked!

Take time, it seems to me Does anybody know who’s out there At night? You see Does anybody take their time anymore for you Take time, to be your fucking friend Does anybody help you out there To be someone Does anybody take any time anymore Take time, it seems Waste time Does anybody know it’s nothing after all

Rip off your clothes Can’t you see I’m dying? Rip off your oath Can’t you see I’m trying For faith? How late till sundown? Rip off that oath Can’t you see we’re losing sleep? Rip off your clothes Can’t you see we’re playing for keeps? That faith is nothing Rip off your oath Can’t you see we’re trying Rip off that coat Can’t you see we’re dying I’m dying dying dying I’m dying dying dying

Wishes go out in the day They’re hot in the afternoon Wishes so deep that you’d pray Pray under every moon Calling you out To yesterday Say hello! (To yesterday) Wishes go bad over time They’re hot in the afternoon You spent all your seasons of rhyme Under a pale blue moon Calling you out To yesterday Say hello! (To yesterday)

Time is a lonely road Wrapped around the places you’ve called home Time is a lonely weight Wrapped around the secrets you’ve called home Time is a lonely trip Wrapped around the picture you’ve called home Time is a lonely road Wrapped around the wound, you’re all alone

about

Canyons and Locusts Boston, Massachusetts

Two-piece band: Justin Keane (vocals, guitar) and Amy Young (drums, backing vocals). Fueled by the chaos of the world and an urgent need to be part of the conversation, the two took the indie rock foundation they built together in previous bands, adding new levels of noise via pervasive, edgy guitar sounds, low and thundery drumbeats, and vocals that capture a mix of emotions and power dynamics ... more
