lyrics

Shutters drawn, a mowed lawn
The driveway's empty save for a cat
What does he know that I don't?
I think it might that

Shiny faces
Hide wherever we go
Tiny spaces
Fit together, a nestling doll
A nesting doll
A nesting doll
A nesting doll

Oh!

What are these small lives?
Who walks these streets at night?
Who lives inside this house, is it full of dusty skeletons?
When did our dreaming quiet?
When did we say that fine is fine?
What are these small lies that keep us in the dark?

Ooh, Ah
Ooh, Ah
Ooh, Ah

These beige walls and new cars
Empty prizes, never-ending game
Recycle our secrets
Splayed naked underneath a sheet of decay
Our blank faces hide wherever we go
Tiny spaces fit together a nesting doll

A nesting doll
A nesting doll
A nesting doll

Oh!

What are these small lives?
Who walks these streets at night?
Who lives inside this house, is it full of dusty skeletons?
When did our dreaming quiet?
When did we say that fine is fine?
What are these small lies that keep us in the dark?

Anointed as “the naked embodiment of power pop punk” by New Wave icon Josie Cotton, the Crushers have skipped the pupa stage in favor of a more dramatic comic book-style metamorphosis. Enter: Modern Adult Kicks (9/13/22), their most ambitious and self-possessed album to date. ... more
