Going Over

lyrics

VERSE 1
We were the agents of our father's desires,
Two sentiments caught three years between.
And now my circus flickers, cold fire,
Denatured, and vaguely obscene.

PRECHORUS 1
But never you mind,
The troubles of another time.
Formulas can make you better,
Cooperative in due time.

VERSE 2
There's a flash and I feel my blind's been lifted,
And there I stand, packed and proud.
But in a moment the scene has shifted,
Mama's wailing, '52 loud.

PRECHORUS 2
But never you mind,
The troubles of another time.
They've got ways to calm your memories,
Hollow you in due time.

CHORUS
For our fathers, we went over feeling glad,
Cuz all I've ever wanted is to make my daddy proud.
Waking sober, sterile clothes, and feeling wrong,
And all I've ever wondered's where my other self has gone...

VERSE 3
I've strayed so far this time and,
there's too much fog, I can't and
Home is nowhere, home is lost and gone

PRECHORUS 3
But never you mind,
The troubles of another time.
Synthetic comforts crumbling,
Proving empty in due time...

CHORUS
For our fathers, we went over feeling glad,
'Cause all I've ever wanted is to make my daddy proud.
Waking sober, sterile clothes, and feeling wrong,
And all I've ever wondered's where my other self has gone...

BRIDGE
Orders is orders, just following orders,
We need you calm now, just take this pill now,
Propranolol, and I have no home,
Propranolol you took my home,
We need you calm and this won't hurt a bit and,
You won't remember, just bite down now,
Orders is orders, just following orders,
Brevital, just following orders,
You're doing fine now, backwards count goes,
Down towards the fog and following orders,
You won't remember, it won't hurt a bit so,
Bite down, bite down...

OUTRO
Oh, thank the lord, the hour's over,
Screen is black.
And all I lost in innocence,
Ain't never coming back...

about

The Radium Girls Boston, Massachusetts

We began playing together freshman year in college, which mostly was just daydreaming and not cutting our hair. This happened in a tiny room, barely able to fit us. We played all over Rochester and released a demo in 2008, but we craved more - and with lots of coffee, we finished our debut album 'From the Woodwork'. We graduated in 2011 and moved to Boston, so we can make it big like Bon Jovi. ... more
