From the recording Lullaby Robot
This is a re-mix of our single version. WFMU’s Evan “Funk” Davies chose the single version as on of his top ten singles of 2016. The Big Takeover’s Chuck Foster described it as "an exquisitely crafted pop song that blends The Cars and Devo with Servotron and Stereolab."
Lyrics
there's a bus
trapped underground
broken windows eggshell white
wrecked rusty brown
and there's a girl
she lives in there
she felt the world change so fast
things crashed down
clouds rolled in
it was the lowest of the lows
a long time ago
and now is now
there's a bus
trapped underground
and everything is broken but the radio
it's tuned to a song
that sings the news
it sounds so good she longs
she screams
she wishes it was true
that everything she's hearing now
would cancel out the things she felt
the things she'd breathed
the things she'd seen a long time ago
and now could be now
there's a bus
it's slowing down
the road beneath begins to sag then falls away
but no one's hurt
but they're all annoyed
they're sure to be late getting where they're going
great
and now a bus is stuck in a pit
blocking the street and down below
A patch of blue sky hits they eye of the girl
in the bus trapped underground
and now
a patch of blue sky hits the eye of girl in the bus
and now is now
