This song was made originally for The Founders, where Nick Kieper and I got our start working together.
lyrics
In the back, on a shelf
Is a key that you'd better not lose
Down the stairs, ticking walk
Tip and lock in the back of your shoes
In the front, in the tree,
Digging roots, is some tired refuse
But there's no hope it'll ever make it out on this side
Nope, it's a goner, what a fallacy, right?
Look out, something inside is alive!
Look out, something inside is alive!
On the street, on the side
Is a door, is a front behind
In your head, in your ear,
Is a voice, is a question declined
On the street, right beside
Is a choice: never seek, never find
But there's no hope it'll ever make it out on this side
Nope, it's a goner, what a fallacy, right?
Look out, something inside is alive!
Look out, something inside is alive!
Born from a birthday wish, brought to life by a fortunate return to our roots, Stun-Gun Millie is voiced and written by Andrea Simpson, leaving the instrumental masterminding to Nick Kieper, who plays guitar and does production work.
