...and put some life in your empty eyes.

Dykehouse, Midrange, "Chain Smoking"

Yeah, doesn't sound right, but I couldn't fit two whole verses in there, so here's the full verse:

You like it quiet
I need it loud
I'd like to see a mushroom cloud

Tear open the clear blue skies
And put some life in your empty eyes

And here's what the chorus sounds like:

And now I'm Chain Smoking
'cause my heart's broken
yet it's true
I still need you

And it's hard drinking
That keeps me from thinking
That it's through
Between me and you

Brilliant songwriting -- on the order of Stephen Merritt or Momus. The music is like classic 80's shoegaze on synthesizers. What's not to love?

Makes me smile. Is making my year end list.
