Dance In the Dark

Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be

Caught in the ritual
It pulls you out into the night
It’s irresistible
Making the same mistakes
Lost in a dizzying display of the habitual

Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be

All out of grace today
And now I’m calling you too late with nothing left to say
Don’t have an answer to
Your voice just trails off in the room

Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be

Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side
Why can’t we just be two lone souls floating side by side

Why can’t we, can't we, be just a dance in the dark
Why can’t we, can’t we, be three AM in the park
Why can’t we, can’t we, be just a dance in the dark
Why can’t we, can’t we, be three AM in the park

about

MOTHER TONGUES Toronto, Ontario

Love In a Vicious way is the debut LP from Toronto’s Mother Tongues. A cyber-psych opus that lurks between the cerebral and feral. At moments, precious and serene; in a blink, snarling, teeth razor-sharp. The songs are charged with a sincerity and teenage sentimentalism that captures a time when everything was crucial and felt tenfold. ... more
