you lost the pace car
and the miles you get aren’t getting you quite as far
what’s it take to breakdown
the mistakes that you make aren’t as dangerous when you slow down
fear is a road leading to something new
faster is comes, like a motor car towards you
you don’t run away, oh, well you never do
anchored in place the king mannequin won’t move
have you been waiting for it
are you belated in it
is it all moot
hey you’re moving up so did you get what you need
now that you’re out of the showroom and into the drivers seat
faster is comes, like a motor car towards you
you don’t run away, oh, well you never do
anchored in place the king mannequin won’t move
hand on the wheel, sensors in place
dummy is set, wall to the face
faster is comes, like a motor car towards you
you don’t run away, oh, well you never do
anchored in place the king mannequin won’t move

More feel-good indie from Brooklyn's A Great Big Pile of Leaves, all bristling guitar tones and expansive choruses. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 18, 2021
