lyrics

Dry— your senses are overcome
You can't quite seem to place your tongue

the words come out wrong and dumb.


You try to play it off like you don't mind//forgetful of another time
that's best left ignored, I guess.


Don't be so shy//Why don't you share some of these bold asides?
To mock the page but never cross the line
although these lines that you do feed your good time.
But can you sound it out? That when these plans we've made start going south—
don't be surprised when they do.


So walk with me on down the street//we'll hop a train or a lorry
Uncomfortable and feeling weak//you ramble off another fucking story

About how I hope in fifty years that they will find
that you were sixty years ahead your time
at least it's ten golden years.

So walk with me on down the street//we'll hop a train or a lorry
Light up the world and slay the meek//if it's not burning up the world it's boring

So walk with me down Elkton St//we'll hop a train or a lorry
Live hand to mouth by skin of teeth//holding loose appointments with attorneys
Court ordered curfew pushed back to 11:30//I'm asking "who can bear this burden for me?"
Is it too late to start another story?

about

Mountebank Austin, Texas

Another filthy Austin-based-band cashing in our drink tokens and falling in love all too quickly.

We formed in June 2016 after having played in several other bands for years; the Hand of Fate slapped all those projects around a bit but thankfully we are way into that kind of thing.

That and biting.

Post-Pop/Indie-Rock/Alt. Folk
