With a towering guitar hook and a haunting vocal, Electricityscape is a deeply melancholic ode to the city by the kings of the Lower East Side.
The song is not just about the city, though, but the complicated relationships formed after midnight under the city’s sparkling lights.
From the fast frie...
[Verse 1]
Oh, with strangers to impress so near
Old friends don't realize I'm here
I wish two drinks were always in me
I'd pretend I had the perfect ear
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Take me to the water
Make me understand that I was wrong
[Verse 2]
For me, tomorrow is my first day
So please, don't tempt me in the wrong way
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's almost after midnight
I can see the city lights, we're here
[Chorus]
Change your mind tonight
You belong to the city now
And you're closer now, I know
You belong on the radio
[Verse 3]
Well, I swear I'll give it back tomorrow
But for now I think that I'll just borrow
[Pre-Chorus 3]
All the chords from that song
And all the words from that other song I heard yesterday
[Chorus]
Change your mind, tonight
You belong to the city now
And you're closer now, I know
You belong on the radio
[Outro]
I will not disturb you
I was just returning you the compliment
