about

A jazzy-jammy-swingy-sort-of-rock song; bouncing funk groove playfully alternates with swing-time cocktail throwback. We call it "Phish-step".

lyrics

you are an
eastern-bloc baby with a west-coast style
and you go through boys like a radio dial
change the channel, man, i’ve heard this one before
you got a knack for attracting everything that you hate
and if i gotta ask it’s already too late
shops are closed up here, go check the girl next door

well i can’t see a way around
this wall you’ve built just won’t come down
guess i’ll be moving on
but before i do
there’s one thing you should know

you’re a celebration of the whole latvian nation
in your business suit and stockings underneath
you got me tripping on my tongue, springing til i’m over-sprung
a rag doll you can gnash between your teeth

well i can’t help but be confused
you kiss me as you knot the noose
guess i’ll be going up
but before i go
there’s one thing i should show you

CHORUS:
i got a brick
in my hand
and i’m thinking of letting it go
right through your second story window
i got a brick
the perfect size
so you can stack me on your wall
but maybe i will be the brick that makes your iron curtain fall
i got a brick
in my hand

well i can’t seem to keep my cool
acting the american fool
in this cross-atlantic play

i’m wallowing in self-defense
and building up my armaments
trying to find the right thing to say

but if i can’t beat you, so they say
i guess i’d better join the fray
another shiny trophy in your case

cause i can’t see a way around
this wall you’ve built will not come down
guess i’ll be moving on
but before i go
there’s one thing I should show you!

CHORUS (x 2)
