Squirrel Flower said for Stereogum of this track:
“Flames” I wrote on my second or third day of quarantine in Bristol… I wanted to write a song that was heavily influenced by Guided By Voices and that very short ruckus kind of rock and roll, but not heavy rock and roll. I feel like Guided By Voices...
[Verse 1]
This car won't drive the way I want
Busted engine or busted lung
Kicking myself for buying those parts
Off of that guy back in Des Moines
Before the drought started
[Chorus]
But I'll get it fixed up soon enough
And you'd better watch out for me
Flying down the road in
Flames and flat tires, baby
Flames and flat tires
[Verse 2]
This car won't drive itself
I mean it could, but I don't try it
That's the way you live
And that shit's on fire, baby
Veering down cobblestone streets at 4 in the morning
Firestorms busted both my headlights
[Chorus]
But I'm getting back on track soon enough
And you better watch out for me
Flying down the road in
Flames and flat tires, baby
Flames and flat tires
[Outro]
Trying to recall how the rain felt on my skin
And scream to anyone who'll listen!
Trying to recall how the rain felt on my skin
And scream to anyone who'll listen!
Trying to recall how the rain felt on my skin
And scream to anyone who'll listen!
