Payroll

lyrics

waves roll by and the clear depths pull you under
you're gonna need a lifeboat

you let things slide in the bedroom without her mother
you're walking on a tightrope
you're crawling through the barrel

spaceships fly through the palace of wonder
they put me on the payroll

cousin why did you burn through all your nine lives
now you're on the table
he called me on the payphone

blackbirds swarm around me
I'm trying hard to wake up
the airplane it's going down
now we're on the scaffold
there's no time to lay hold

Songwriter Garrett Hobba started the project in Seattle in 2007. The band, which involves a rotating door of friends and musicians, has toured several times through the US and Europe.
