"I love hearing Bev Thomson saying 'giant radiocative lizard.'" - Richard Crouse, 2014

lyrics

Contemplate my life on the screen
No kind of life for the ones who live in between
The crashing highs and blistering defeats
The Christmas present that Mothra gave to me
I'm kind of lonely but it's alright
Anytime I am, I can remember that I'm
An invention of man
A tool of the Japanese
I'd pass the time with movies

If I didn't live under the sea
If I didn't live under the sea

I grew up deep in the water
Came to this city of light and sound
Only found, the little things
People run in every direction
Beneath my feet, I could almost bring it down
All around them

You kind of look like Marilyn Monroe from up here, but then again
Everyone does if you get far away, and she never starred in a monster movie, anyway
It gets old, after a while
the fake blood, the drama. Oh you'll see!
I'll run away for a thousand years
to return a less fearsome, less perfect version of me.

And if I could, I'd escape.
Let every car-sized footprint punctuate:

I grew up deep in the water
Came to this city of light and sound
Only found, the little things
People run in every direction
Beneath my feet, I could almost bring it down
All around them

about

Cross Country Canada Toronto, Ontario

Cross Country Canada (XCC) is a band formed by three friends over a mutual love of music, weird stories, and track-ball computer games. The XCC sound part Weakerthans fanboy, part "your dad's basement record collection", and all whimsy.
