lyrics

-----------------------------------------------------
On time we were always counting to be
Yeah on time slowly letting the grip
Throw it to the side of the picket line
Waiting for a cause
Throw it in the air embracing despair
Leaving for a different cause
Aware we were always thinking we were
Only in prayers do we even come close
Choke on our words as we spit them out
Blessed by a higher call
Dumb becomes more numb when we believe
We’re blessed by a higher call

In the winter we sell our souls
In the winter we run
God knows we fail again
God knows we fail again

What is this silence that sprung from a different time
Are we fighting giants or running in defiance
There’s blood on the floor
Who’s up for more
Painting it by numbers
Come carry on
-----------------------------------------------------

Exit Decades
by CUT CITY

supported by 12 fans who also own “Utopia, 1974”

Cut City's exit decades exceeds expectations with a sound that falls right out of postpunk 80's and gave interpol's offerings at that time a definite run for their money. Happy for the vinyl reissue. I wish for the band Elefant to follow suit in vinyl resurgence, even though that album never came out on vinyl. Yet they too delivered such a classic postpunk revival offering. lossratio
