about

Recorded and Produced in 2003 by Mark McAdam in NYC

lyrics

I pressed my finger onto
the lower vein of the subway map
and declared I will live there, fancy that
Then the bottom blew out and just a cavity remains
with the false pride of a football game
I'm one step up with five more to go
To the top of the city where the virgin forest grows
I have seen the stars fall right from the sky...

If I'm wrong, please help me along
Sing me the song that leads me to you
And know that I will show you everything
That I could possibly dream of
I've walked this earth, I gathered dirt
And now I'm soiled and worn
I will pour myself in, put all my quarters in
and spin until I'm clean

Underneath the skin we move underground
I need oxygen so I float uptown
to the center, the lungs, the heart
The beating of the drums in central park
I take this pulse as my own
I am connected to my broken home

Chorus

The sun goes down and I go to
The edge of the city to greet the moon
The cross the bridge, stop in the middle, drop five pennies a wish an a little
Prayer for everyone
Sleeping in their beds
This world is so fucked up
We need all the love we can get

The Philosophy of Evil Seagull
by Evil Seagull

I love Evil Seagull! Her songs pull me inward, into the deep, dark intelligence of my vulnerable heart. She carves her own style of smart melodic pop next to Elliott Smith and PJ Harvey. Maya Dorn
