1990s Nostalgia, "Woodward and Cass"
Lyrics
Verse 1
Cracked concrete outside the comic shop door
Flannel shirts dragging on the linoleum floor
We were trading VHS tapes just to feel alive
Before the internet told us how we should survive
Dial-up screaming like a ghost in the wall
Waiting for the weekend just to risk it all.
Chorus
(Clean vocals, highly emotional)
Take me back to the concrete and the broken glass
Walking the edge between Woodward and Cass
We had the world in a rental box case
Before time went and wiped out the place
I lost a piece of myself in ninety-nine
And I’ve been trying to rewrite the line!
Verse 2
(Heavy, driving guitars)
Pager buzzing on my hip, a code for your house
No optical lasers, just a ball in the mouse
The analog static of a pirate radio station
We were the architects of a lost generation
Bleeding our hearts out into cassette tapes
Looking for shadows, looking for escapes.
(Bridge - Screamed / Heavy breakdown)
REWIND THE TAPE!
We never slowed down to breathe!
REWIND THE TAPE!
There’s nothing left up our sleeve!
(Clean)
The sirens are screaming me back to today...
