lyrics

Staring at your phone screen
Borderline lonely
Long drives, short sets
Small talk and cigarettes
Soon you’ll have a family
Can’t keep losing money
Everything is slowing down
But I just wanna keep running
I keep running

San Francisco’s dead
Taken over by the internet
All the clubs are closing
After all the artists left
The tickets won’t sell
Everybody’s moved on
Maybe you can wait it out
Everything comes back around
Everything comes back around
Everything comes back around

Buying groceries on credit
Royalties forget it
IRS on my back
And I ain’t even made shit
Staring down the barrel
Of another four years
Nothings changed same debate
Between fantasies and fears
Falling farther into fascism
We need a revolution
Murder porn glued to your screen
Sedated in a debtor’s prison
Every year the fire’s worse
This technology’s a curse
This problem’s too big for me
We’re evolving in reverse
Some try to deny it
Others try to fight it
Some simply accept their fate
Other tries to buy it
Move to the suburbs
where you feel safe
Send your kids to the schools
Where they all look the same
Everyone looks like their friends
Now I feel like one of them
Skinny jeans, plaid shirt
Beard and bun, converse
Bawling my eyes out
At the Pixar movie
That opening scene in “Up”
Really fucking moved me

You’re the wild card
You’re the wild card
You’re the wild card
You’re the wild card

Staring at the second hand
Feeling like a grain of sand
How am I supposed to finish this?
My attention’s like a goldfish

about

King Dream image

King Dream Bodega, California

King Dream is a Bay Area psych-rock project from longtime songwriter and musician Jeremy Lyon. With roots planted in the golden era of California psychedelia, and a wry, playful energy that places him firmly in the 21st century, Lyon charts a path through timeless themes: disillusionment with oneself, with adulthood, with one’s country — and that there’s still plenty worthy of a love song. ... more
