Don't call a doctor, she's dead, said the man by the fire
Her heartbeat is gone, and she's wearing a wire
Shut that door, said the host with a shout
Nobody leaves until we figure this out
The boy stands and then he sinks to his knees
He covers his face so that nobody sees his despair
A young lady in pearls
Dead by the foyer as onlookers stare
Now it's too late, too late to let go, I'm gonna turn you inside out
And when you fall, china doll, I'll be there too
Don't you know I'll never leave you, read the signs in my own blood
Secret love, I'm cutting you open to see what you're really made of
Silence stems the violence, as the constables pound on the door
So run now, get out somehow, says the doctor, they'll catch you, they'll kill you for sure
shakes her wake up, baby wake up, oh please open your eyes,
He pleads as he whispers and strangers take pictures
He drops two train tickets and cries
Diana...
Diana, please don't go
I need you here now
I can't do this thing on my own.

The Chicago indie-rock trio deliver an album for remembering the revitalizing feeling of inhaling fresh air—the aural equivalent of a gleam of hope Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 20, 2020
Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2016
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
