lyrics

dragging on throughout the day
all my strength is sapped away
i just wanna hit the hay
and stray from the waking world

but when it's dark, I come alive
all my systems come online
the night is when I energize
and rise when the day’s adjourned

i defy the nuclei that strike the sky from space
when the sun turns off we
fire up the coffee
and the synthesizers
and cubase

we stay up late
and we percolate
and we oscillate

in the lightless nightshift

we shun the sun

i’m justified
just stepping outside
in cimmerian skies

in the lightless nightshift

we shun the sun

don’t wanna dominate the world
instead, I’ll take the zoo
and party with the polar bears and the kangaroos
‘cause all the coolest critters congregate nocturnally
and I’m the coolest cat in town, so they’ve all heard of me

but let’s submerge when we converge to escape this cruel candescence
‘cause i don’t need the sun to see with bioluminescence

Animal Songs
by The Gothsicles

supported by 20 fans who also own “Sun Shy”

This album is great. Most songs have a beat you think would be a club hit until Brian starts singing with his shrill voice about animals. I love that he keeps the theme of animals for the whole album its stupid and genius at the same time. Best songs Rock the Quokka, Vampire Squid, Axolotl Super Powers (feat. MC Lars), Go-Away-Bird, Lungfish, Naked Mole-Rat (Pink and Furtive) (feat. FIRES) and Gila Monsters. GeneralLeeStupid
