lyrics

Queen of Decatur


Green carpet yellow sheets and a bedspread of orange and brown
A dresser who’s using a dresser here? It almost feels like a put down.
Two glasses next to the sink with covers that say they are clean.
And a map, a map on the door that tells us how we should flee, how we should flee.

You wouldn’t know it’s a holiday outside
The highway doesn’t change
This is no place to live a second life
Everybody knows our names
But in this hotel surrounded by parking lot
I feel we can say
That if things don’t get any better
One night the two of us together
Feels right. Some days I cannot breathe.
Some days I survive just by thinking
Of you a mailman’s daughter.
Of you the Queen the Queen the Queen of Decatur.

The Rolling Stones once passed beneath that big white neon sign.
What do you think Mick Jagger would do with a bucket of ice?
Civilization ended before this carpet ever was stained.
I never had anything before you. Before you I was less afraid.


You wouldn’t know it’s a holiday outside
The highway doesn’t change
This is no place to live a second life
Everybody knows our names
But in this hotel surrounded by parking lot
I feel we can say
That if things don’t get any better
One night the two of us together
Feels right. Some days I cannot breathe.
Some days I survive just by thinking
Of you a mailman’s daughter.
Of you the Queen the Queen the Queen of Decatur.

Gideon’s Bible king-sized bed snow falling on a green roof.
We’re on the second floor but still I can smell the pool.
The dreams I have are things that my parents told me were truths.

I wish that I could believe them. But they didn’t know the ending.
I wish I could believe them.

The Foghorns Seattle, Washington

Landing in Seattle via Iceland, Wisconsin and Brooklyn, The Foghorns are a very late night folk and roots rock octet. Bart Cameron writes the songs, a rag tag choir (nicknamed Bucket o Bourbon Choir), provides harmonies, rhythm, and broken glass, and Lauren Trew demonstrates the bass clarinet should be part of rock.While insane touring decreased in 2012, live shows are still a focus. ... more
