about

A song about the things that keep me up at night.

lyrics

You know that your government's been lying to you
You know the resistance is too
You know that we'll all become billionaires someday
You know only bad people do
Right? Right? Right?

And lightning strikes the Vatican again
(The Vatican again, oh)

Despite all the pressures to conform to yourself
Despite all those risks to your health
You keep trying to express your own unique identity
Just like everyone else
Right, right, right?

And lightning strikes the Vatican again
(The Vatican again, oh)

We like to wring our hands about the modern ways of war
We like to praise the Greatest Generation gone before
Their glory and their righteousness and the last good battle fought
As if mankind hadn't been there when first club was born from rock.
Cuz God's still our provider, though lately calls get dropped
Yeah we still have the contracts, but His signature's left off
Why must all these Gods keep shouting "I'm the only one!"
Their insecurities are driving all our people nuts
And I know we're all scared of losing everything we have
But some things can't be taken, unlike wealth, or life, or land
Your dignity, your courage, your conscience most all
So fortify your better side and help bring down the wall
Give love. Give all. Give up.

And lightning strikes the Vatican again
(The Vatican again, oh)
Lightning strikes the Vatican again
(The Vatican again, oh)

STRANGE ANATOMY image

STRANGE ANATOMY Brooklyn, New York

Drawing together immediate melodies and ever evolving instrumentation, STRANGE ANATOMY bridges the gap between the familiar rock and roll that we feel in our bodies and the strange sonic artforms that can only be dreamt of in our minds.

Now regulars in the NY music scene, the band continues to refine their sound. They are currently finishing up their high-concept sophomore album, OBSCURIA. ... more
