Why do I tremble inside like a heart sewn together from trite smut fiction amphetamine induced frantic inhibition spiraling expectations and gas station condoms Ain't it criminal to be an old soul lost in the bits, caught in the lull talking circles round my heart ain't it criminal Our hearts are frank and forward, our love a structure fire dirty part time runaways left to our own devices each other's favorite wind up toy trust each other enough to never fall in love Ain't it criminal to be an old soul lost in the bits, caught in the lull talking circles round my heart ain't it criminal

If you only knew how much you meant to me I'd be the car, not the driver, the earth, not the sun I'd be the pen and not the writer, the clay and not the potter When you're not quite aware of who you are, you're a voice, you're an elephant, you're a star bluntly sophisticated, impeccably bazaar when you're not quite aware Paint the window with your nose so everyone knows this is your home we all got a revisionist living in us wishing we would live without limits speak to me tongues, speak to me in truth, speak to me in love, speak to me When you're not quite aware of who you are you're a voice, you're an elephant, you're a star bluntly sophisticated, impeccably bazaar, when you're not quite aware

We could be masters of public opinion Martyrs of the latest distraction Villains in the time we live in Heroes in the light of revision We could be Warlords drumming up suspicion Giving the finger to UN resolution We could wind em up to lull them down We could be warlords in love A little blood in the streets to grease the wheel They'll be loyal to a fault and then some still Never you but them to take it on the chin Everyone pulls a lever only we'll cash in , We could be Warlords drumming up suspicion Giving the finger to UN resolution We could wind up to lull them down We could be Warlords in Love Lovers of all things that go boom We'll sip tea under the same blood moon

I was a fixture sitting in your back room collecting dust, lacking use, I must love how it feel I'm the first to sense it, the last to know when your high wire balance sends you tumbling below Old Clairvoyant tightrope artist Is it my luck, is it my teeth, everything in between The fruit of the privilege been around the world ain't ever left the vine, you must love how it feels Your thoughts lays fractured, ooh boy them words cut through slurred but intentioned, cold and open ended Old Clairvoyant tightrope artist, Is it my luck, is it my teeth, everything in between Old Clairvoyant tightrope artist, Bright, bold and busted, I love you just the same….

To each his own little bubble, call it home, leave the mystery to rubble Say I'm a fraction of clue, my wits and is where I left you Forgive me in the new year I know not what I'm doing here stay level, stay close, stay clear of the rope you remember me when I was the last show in town I can't bring you back to life, I can only bring you down Never dreamt so dull, never left a conversation lull Willfully ignorant we play vicious, we once were lovers now we're scientists Forgive me in the new year, I know not what I'm doing here stay level, stay close, stay clear of the rope you remember me when I was the last Show in town I can't bring you back to life, I can only bring you down You remember me when, you remember when, you remember me when…..

about

Live from the Argyle Wallpaper is an accumulation of feeling completely obscure, the desire to
find meaningful connections and make people dance. We took a hard look at ourselves on this
one and decided we just wanted to give folks an escape from the treacherous news cycle of
doom. We hope you enjoy it.
Cheers!

about

Lee Walter Redding Kansas City, Missouri

Raised on 60s rock, steeped in 90s Britpop ennui, and guided by contemporary neo-soul, Lee Walter Redding weaves dry humor into vibrant sonic textures that sway from wistful to chaotic. Think 2010s Nick Lowe fronting The Velvet Underground. On warped vinyl. ... more
