lyrics

Whisper Wildwood

Let me know you’re easy
Then I’ll call ya from a mile away
From your back door

You’re my still-born eagle
For thirty dollars you’ll be hollerin’ my name
From your room

All my friends down on Diamond Beach
Whips and one-eyed women stoned
And it’s all right
If the scene’s heavy
Maybe it’ll slow you down
Riptide’s got the beat we can touch
Prayin’ it don’t knock
Prayin’ it don’t knock me down

Let me take my meal here
Then I’ll whisper “Wildwood,” and then you can
Circle them tires

You’re spittin’ on the fender
For eighty dollars we’ll get up
And then we’ll crawl over them dunes

All my friends down on Diamond Beach
Whips and one-eyed women stoned
And it’s all right
If the scene’s heavy
Maybe it’ll slow you down
Riptide’s got the beat we can touch
Prayin’ it don’t knock
Prayin’ it dont knock me down

All my friends down on Diamond Beach
Whips and one-eyed women stoned
And it’s all right
If the scene’s heavy
Maybe it’ll slow you down
Riptide’s got the beat we can touch
Prayin’ it don’t knock me down
Sunrise
If it don’t shake me
Maybe it’ll slow you down
Riptides pull the dreams from our guts
Prayin’ it don’t knock
Prayin’ it don’t knock me down

HESS New York, New York

HESS (of NYC rock & roll powerhouse Mail the Horse) was born in the same town as Springsteen, Long Branch, NJ, and with Lamplight Motel, has crafted a fully-realized portrait of life and death on the New Jersey coast—equally beautiful, seedy, and forlorn—all built upon dreamy layers of warm, vintage synthesizers, punchy electronic percussion and soulful, R&B-inspired vocals. ... more
