never played live, not sure why, but i've always loved it.
lyrics
It's a mystery most the time, how you look so good
Is it youth, some better care, or just misunderstood
Maybe you were born this way, happy from within
Or maybe you are just immune, to any kind of sin
Now that you've got a bit older
I can see the writing on the wall
Burden of age you must shoulder
I can see the writing on the wall
Younger faces everywhere, still you rule the day
You're the queen and everyone, stays out of your way
All the while you feel secure, your time will never end
But when you fall you're rest assured, a new face to contend
Now that you've got a bit older
I can see the writing on the wall
Burden of age you must shoulder
I can see the writing on the wall
Slowly glory fades away, never to return
It's said the mirror never lies, and sometimes that it burns
All the while you've felt secure, but now you must agree
Older face forgotten now, a new face in the lead
Now that you've got a bit older
I can see the writing on the wall
Burden of age you must shoulder
I can see the writing on the wall
Great, wild post-punk from this Chicago duo who wrap bent-wire guitars around lockstep rhythms and wry, sarcastic vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 24, 2021
The Black Lips return with a record that draws heavily on country music, spiking it with their time-tested irreverence. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 7, 2019
