lyrics

In Your Stars

Hands on your head, what Simon said you didn’t catch
Walked when they ran, your shirts and pants never quite matched
Pledge of allegiance, not again, you called in sick
For which it stands, open your hands and drop those peanuts

There’s something else In Your Stars
Can’t you see the signs
It’s your birthright baby

Giving you looks, bishops and rooks protecting kings
Mowing the lawn, a lowly pawn, at least you can sing
Driving a car and turning on the radio
At the top of the charts they’re breaking hearts and selling sofas

There’s something else In Your Stars
Can’t you see the signs
It’s your birthright baby
Wait it out a while
And I will guarantee

That you’re gonna be a smash
Wakin' up the monster mash
That you’re gonna be a smash
Breaking up the monster mash
That you’re gonna be a smash
Breaking up the monster mash
That you’re gonna be a smash
Breaking up the monster mash

about

The Citizens New York

Sometimes catchy as hell, sometimes quite strange and sometimes heartbreakingly tender. The Citizens combine great songcraft with experimentation and stand-out live performance.
