LYRICS:
It's gonna be too hot to breathe today
But everybody is out here on the streets
Somebody's opened up the fire hydrant
Cold water rushing out in sheets
Some kid in a Marcus Allen jersey asks me for a cigarette
Companionship is where you find it so I take what I can get

Hubcaps on the car like fun house mirrors
Stick to the shadows when I can
Lovecraft in Brooklyn

When the sun goes down the armies of the voiceless
Several hundred-thousand strong
Come out without their bandages
Their voices raised in song
When the street lights sputter out
They make this awful sizzling sound
I cast my gaze towards the pavement
Too many blood stains on the ground

Rhode Island drops into the ocean
No place to call home anymore
Lovecraft in Brooklyn

Head outside most everyday to try to keep the wolves away
Imagine nice things I might say If company should come

Woke up afraid of my own shadow
Like, genuinely afraid
Headed for the pawnshop
To buy myself a switchblade
Someday something's coming
From way out beyond the stars
To kill us while we stand here
It'll store our brains in mason jars

And then the girl behind the counter
She asks me how I feel today
I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn

Blind Covers is a show about the creative process, where we give bands the lyrics to a song they've never heard, then make them write a cover in just an hour. We use the show to highlight bands we love, and we hope you'll support the show by supporting their music too. Blind Covers is a labor of love made by a bunch of friends working in the entertainment industry, proudly hailing from Missouri, but living in Los Angeles. We release new episodes the first Monday of every month, and bonus "Album Cut" episodes featuring artists performing their own songs in between.
