about

For their last track of the year Sister Black Lagoon dredges up a danceable rant about the challenges of staying alive within, while dealing with the numbing routines of daily life and the darker landscape of romance. It's a camouflaged survivors song ready to take a corner towards the light.

lyrics

Cave of Canaries

I’m so sick of this shit
Got me a black tourmaline kit
& if you’ll stay
I’ll let you get away
With anything…
Bruised by banality
The mundane slowly killin’ me
More alone than I’d like to be
Yeah your mouth
Your mouth’s sweet company,

There’s no more of you, you want me to see
There’s no more of me, you want me to be
Head like cotton now, so far from the sea
We were cut in half, and let it be
Let it be

Got trouble waking up
Got trouble goin’ to sleep
I got trouble in the mirror
I got trouble with those I meet,
I’m goin’ back to the tree
with a saw named discovery
Cut a piece of truth for me
So I won’t go lonely,
I don’t get no rest
Since I saw through her dress
Monkey sick with a face full of sand
A lifetime of learning love’s demands –

Dark angel moan in the sunshine
Then she go all serpentine,
Must be out of rope and poison valentines.
You can keep your handsome hips
You can keep your cherry lips
You can keep your poisons too
Cause time’s a funny thing
Gives ya somethin’ to do …

There’s no more of you want me to see
There’s no more of me you want me to be
Head like cotton now, so far from the sea ...
