lyrics

I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me
Oh, I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million times

I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Oh give me a hint or something
If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch
I wouldn't hesitate

No, there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
Teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought

They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake leave me something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now must we wait?

Oh, there must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys

They're dragging me down

Eden. There's no Eden anyway.

They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake leave us something!
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now will it take now?

There must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down
And they're dragging me down
They're dragging me down
You either swim or you drown

about

Palm Ghosts Nashville, Tennessee

Palm Ghosts is the sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN.

More at home in rainy Manchester, the quartet weaves cinematic dream pop and new wave with brooding post punk.
