my favorite song on the album!! why? for one, it is
unbelievably fun. that chorus is so full of life, but at
the same time, alpert's stop and start vocals feel
somewhat robotic throughout the song. which is not a
bad thing at all! and i have no clue what those lyrics
mean but they're awesome. love love love this song

here's the band playing it live on colorado public
radio! it's somehow weirder than the original version,
with a very strange guitar effect used before the
second verse. also, check out the band's messed-up
guitar strings haha

pure as my idle arms
freeze them good and you saw them off
we evoke the rise and fall
in more ways than one

second wife
saved my soul
got me to believe in rock & roll
rise and shine
color code
new shallows
down with the rest of it

choking on the afterthought
spew some stuff the eternal ...
we evoke the rise and fall
in more ways than one

second wife
save my soul
got me to believe in rock and roll
rise and shine
color code
new shallows
down with the rest of it
