Losing all the time, you’re such a brave bug on a light bulb
Losing all the time, you’re such a brave bug on a light bulb
I happened to forget you had anatomy
You took out your eyes
For me to see better
Once or twice you’ve come to me ‘cause I don’t invite
Enough of you babe
To have fun and stay
O o
Losing all the time, you’re such a brave bug on a light bulb
Cunning never ever failed you girl so get clever
Now your mouth is whole
It’s incomplete, was stole
A recurring dream of sleep beneath the sheets
Having much to learn
A constant curve to turn
A mask made well becomes a shell
To hide the burn
Driving every mile inside a paper mache lion
Going home is sort of hopeless
Enamored by modern electronic sounds but influenced by the chill tones of classic bossa records and the urgency and harmony of northern soul, Radiation City has codified seemingly disparate ideas into something equally space-aged and retro. Founded in 2009 amid the glow of one budding love affair, Radiation City quickly added a second couple to its ranks and blossomed into a full family. Debut LP The Hands That Take You quickly earned the band a reputation as one of Portland, Oregon’s most promising young acts, and the subsequent national tours—along with 2011’s Cool Nightmare EP—made good on that promise. But it was the quintet’s majestic, fully realized sophomore full-length, Animals in the Median, that secured Radiation City an audience far outside its native Portland, Oregon.
