lyrics

She prays for the light to shine down
She prays for the ocean to hold her
It’s her only pure salvation, her only destination
And it’s hers. And it’s hers.

She sits and turns the lights down low
Watched the sky cry through the window
She begs for mercy and counts the butterflies

She had a line everything seemed fine
Through a green wave and it counted time
She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes
She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes

Houses made of plastic scenes
A rubber boy with plastic dreams
Slips into her world of love

She slips into her striped red dress
Believes she is truly blessed but
She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes
She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes

She says “Welcome to the dark side of the moon”.

You cry, you cry.
There’s no one behind the mirror
The face is growing clearer
Love bleeds slowly. Love Bleeds Slowly. Love Bleeds Slowly through you.

She sits and turns the lights down low
Watched the sky cry through the window
She begs for mercy and counts the butterflies

She had a line everything seemed fine
Through a green wave and it counted time
She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes
She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes

She pulled the screen to see an ocean view, it opens up her mind.

about

Wombat Carnival Chicago, Illinois

Wombat Carnival –formed in the 90’s -is from the Chicagoland area. Catchy tracks that fit well within the modern alternative pop template used by bands such as the Killers, Green Day and so many more. “Waterfall” is first rate post punk pop with a driving rhythm section and a memorable melody. It’s easy to like the poppy “She Tripped Me Up” anthem like “Move On”. Give this band a try!! ... more
