Gotta Pull Down

Gotta Pull Down

My favourite place to be
Was at the wheel of a rock and roll van
Rolling the country with blue skies and semis
Driving to a different band

Then the car pool stopped
And your luck ran out
Were you a woman or a man?
You gotta pull down
The frequencies found
A way into the sound

My favourite way to be
Was under lights and up on the stage
Dancing on floorboards, creaking some backbones
Singing to the ghost up the back

Then the stage show stopped
‘Cause the dog took off
With the needle and the strings
You gotta pull down
Make the best of the light
Shine it back to those who bend

I’ve pulled down what I had
I’ve pulled down what I heard in my head
It comes from a place
Everybody’s been
You know it well
The sound can swell

Gotta pull down
Gotta pull down
Gotta pull down
Gotta pull down

My favourite way to be
Was under lights and up on a stage
Dancing on floorboards, creaking their backbones
Singing to the ghosts up the back

Then the contracts stopped
Cause the words burned out
With the feelings from the shame
You gotta pull down
Make the best of the light
Shine it back to those who bend
