Monolith/Made of Stone

This is really a great song by a group called Palo Alto, a band you really should look up. They’re like Coldplay with a vocal guy that sounds kind of like Radiohead. They’re just damn good. Check them out.

Monolith

What’s that you say?

I’m a man not a prisoner,

Walkin’ the tight-rope beneath me,

Making your way underneath to the front porch,

How did you know I would be there?

Come out at once,

I’m out of touch…..

Come out at once….

What’s that you say?

I’m a man with a fool’s voice,

Making those angels in the sand,

Takin what’s mine, believing what is yours.

How did you know it was me, then?

Come out at once,

I’m out of touch…..

You’re gonna find out how….

Come of age,

Big mistake,

Can’t afford this attitude,

It’s a rubber maid,

Things at stake,

Countin more what I can’t do,

It’s a comin thing,

The things we take,

Lookin for where I came through,

It’s a monolith,

Make it wait,

Can’t afford this attitude.

I’m out of luck…

I’m out of time…..

Making yourself some more friends with your fingers,

Having some fun with your mouth,

Taking what’s yours and what’s mine, where you figure

How did you know how to give in?

I’m gonna find out how……..

Come of age,

Big mistake,

Can’t afford this attitude,

It’s a rubber maid,

Things at stake,

Countin more what I can’t do,

It’s a comin thing,

The things we take,

Lookin for where I came through,

It’s a monolith,

Make it wait,

Can’t afford this attitude.

I’m out love…..

Takin the same road home that’s from….

Takin the same road….

Come of age,

Big mistake,

Can’t afford this attitude,

It’s a rubber maid,

Things at stake,

Countin more what I can’t do,

It’s a comin thing,

The things we take,

Lookin for where I came through,

It’s a monolith,

Make it wait,

Can’t afford this attitude.

I’m out of luck….

I’m out of time….

I’m out of love……

Made of Stone

I was going to do one Palo Alto song, but this second one came on and I remembered how good it was….and fitting for right now…..both are actually.

Give up….

I’ve made mistakes,

From what I don’t know….

The best way,

I find myself,

Tied up….

She was an angel, frustrated,

From what I know….

Well that’s all I’d ask,

And we’d fly on the double,

For what I can’t say…..

Am I still holdin on?

Am I still made of stone?

Am I tryin’ to be strong?

Am I still movin on?

Well back on the saddle,

I fly on the double,

To where I can’t see.

Well that’s all

I see, and I see myself troubled,

From what I can’t say…..

Am I still holdin’ on?

Am I still made of stone?

Am I tryin’ to be strong?

Am I still movin on?

When they run this town?

With that look on my face,

Love will conquer my spirit now,

When they run this town?

With that look on my face,

With love…I can’t say….

Am I still holdin on?

Am I still made of stone?

Am I tryin to be strong?

Am I still movin on?

I don’t know….

I don’t know….
