Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Words like fire underneath your breath
And the child inside, a nervous wreck
Within this insecurity
We were always so alone
Hello, hello, goodbye, hello, hello
Hello

[Chorus 1]
Oh, this city got a lot to learn
Crossin’ the bridges
Gonna watch them burn
All f’d up, nowhere to go
All f’d up, nowhere to go
Words like fire underneath your breath

We’re left for dead
Cold as stones
The echoes in my head
Just won’t leave me alone

[Verse 2]
We’re left for dead
Cold as stones
The echoes in my head just won’t leave me alone
Hello

[Chorus 2]
Oh, this city got a lot to learn
Crossin’ the bridges
Gonna watch them burn
All f’d up, nowhere to go
All f’d up, nowhere to go
Oh, this city got a lot to learn
Crossin’ the bridges
Gonna watch them burn
All f’d up, nowhere to go
All f’d up, nowhere to go
Words like fire underneath your breath

[Bridge]
You were living an extraordinary life
With nothing left to do but fall apart
Let it fall apart

[Chorus 2]
Oh, this city got a lot to learn
Crossin’ the bridges
Gonna watch them burn
All f’d up, nowhere to go
All f’d up, nowhere to go
Oh, this city got a lot to learn
Crossin’ the bridges
Gonna watch them burn
All f’d up, nowhere to go
All f’d up, nowhere to go
Words like fire underneath your breath
Words like fire underneath your breath

Get It:

Pick up your copy of Death Valley Dreams’ Lust in the Modern World right here:

Straight from the Department of Bands You Need to Know About comes Death Valley Dreams with its throaty vocals, its obvious nod to goth rock and 80s new wave, and its stadium-ready sound. Death Valley Dreams hails from the Scranton, Pennsylvania area, which as the band’s website points out, is the least happy place to live in the country. We here at the DWB studios cannot say for sure that this is the sound of Scranton, but we can say for sure that this is the sound we imagine happening if The Killers and David Bowie had a love child. Think The Lost Boys soundtrack from 1987. Think David Bowie meets Depeche Mode meets Peter Murphy. Think dark magic.

Folks, this is a grab your eyeliner and black leather corset and turn it up to 11 kind of band. Every track on 2016’s Lust in the Modern World is a tour de force of sound. Vocalist  Nick Coyle’s voice is big and muscular, and it will have you standing on your coffee table and frightening your pets. It did here anyway.

Give it some volume, my babies.

(And then go buy the record.)
