Spitting On the Edge of the World

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

From their first album in 9 years…what a single and what a terrific collab w/ Perfume Genius. Hearing this on JPR the other day while I was driving (?) was an anachronistic experience. Rarely hear new music like that these days and it was wonderful! The “never had no chance” kills me for some reason. Can’t wait for this record. Out in September with only 8 tracks.  👀

Cowards! Here’s the sun
So bow your heads
In the absence of bombs
Draw your breath
Dark, dark places shall be none
She’s melting houses of gold
And the kids cry out
We’re spitting off the edge of the world
Out in the night
Never had no chance
Nowhere to hide
spitting off the edge of the world
Out comes the sun
Never had no chance
Nowhere to run
Mama what have you done
I trace your steps
In the darkness of one
Am I what’s left
Silver lines whisper to me
Wounded arms must carry the load
And the kids cry out
We’re spitting off the edge of the world
Out in the night
Never had no chance
Nowhere to hide
spitting off the edge of the world
Nowhere to run
Never had no chance
Out comes the sun
spitting off the edge of the world
Winds from the sky
Never had no chance
Will watch us rise
