Don't Go Outside

You can only novocaine your nose so long
It’s a new day gotta be strong
Every bird can sing so why can’t you
You got ideas but you don’t follow through
So many ways that you let other people down
You’re lucky this isn’t a smaller town
You’re lucky everyone forgets the hurt you’ve caused
Just bundle up and pray to Santa Claus
Don’t go outside, you’ll wipe out
You need a cool rag, just take a time out
Don’t go outside, you’ll wipe out
You need a cool rag, just take a time out
Don’t talk to anyone, it’s safer that way
You’ll just regret it, forget it okay
Don’t go outside
You go and see the show alone and you stand like a stone
You count the minutes til you go back home
You count the minutes til you’re back on your bike
That’s the only part you actually like
Once upon a time it all used to feel so good
It was like Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
Everybody was in bands and playing their shows
It was a comfort being one of those
You haven’t cried real tears in twenty-five years
You think you’ll do it in a couple of beers
You think it’s worth it to go out with your friends
You think they wanna give up their weekends
Everybody wanna stay in their house
Everybody wanna stay with their spouse
You’re nothing like you thought you’d be
A shut-in terrified of novelty

and Queen.
"Integration of FM-era pop, from glam to power pop, bandannaed cock-rock and New Romanticism, shouldn't come this easy, or sound this good." -- Pitchfork

Baby Teeth recommends:
Back On The Music!
by Paul Cherry
I adore his oddball jazz/pop sensibility. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision someone bringing early-80's lite-jazz influences (hello Michael Franks!) to cool indie kids. PAUL DID IT!!
go to album
Dreamer is out of this world. Amazing mix of influences. There are bangers here, but also laid-back soul, itchy indie guitar, and sharp political critique. Check "Cookout"!
go to album
Awesomely ambitious record, incorporating Kinks, Bowie, and T. Rex, with super-groovy avant-garde production. Love the vision and can't wait to see where they go next.
