lyrics
some basic truths, I know them too
the sky's always blue over Avenue A
and by some trick of light
yesterday's always further away than tomorrow
look, here it comes
with crushing speed across the East River
you sure can't put your arms around a memory, babe
but it can knock you over and over long after it's over
and it's never easy to pretend
the world's not ending when it fucking is
and nobody ever plays Ivan Sings like mom did
some songs you just never hear again
and you never know when
some basic truths I never knew before the morning
I woke up suddenly old enough to know better
I should have worn sunscreen
I should have been kinder to you
and everything's always subject to change
Saturday night giveth, Sunday taketh away
and if I'm never hungover again
well, I may wake up alone
but at least I'll feel some sense of control
and it's just depressing to pretend
the fun's not over when it fucking is
and nobody ever plays Ivan Sings
some songs you just never hear again
and you never know when
no, it's never easy to pretend
the world's not ending when it fucking is
and nobody ever plays Ivan Sings
some songs you just never hear again

Twinkling, glitched-out ambience punctuated by bubbling beats: think Stereolab's foundation if they were less European and more Californian. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 6, 2016
