lyrics
I can hear them coming up the back steps
setting up equipment turning out the lights
because my time has come and gone
a tape recorder in the middle of the room
a disembodied voice a scary noise
I am standing right beside you
won’t you offer some proof to us
won’t you make something move for us
can anybody hear a word I’m saying
as the scene just seems to keep replaying
over and over again in the middle of the night
I really like your energy I sure would like you next to
I swear I’m not a fantasy and I’m longing for some human
interaction
you want me to com through for you
I’m trying to but it’s hard to do
It’s been this way since ’32
but not I think I’m finally making contact
won’t you offer some proof to us
...I am trying
won’t you make something move for us
...I am trying
can anybody hear a word I’m saying
as the scene just seems to keep replaying
over and over again in the middle of the night
setting up equipment turning out the lights
because my time has come and gone
a tape recorder in the middle of the room
a disembodied voice a scary noise
I am standing right beside you
won’t you offer some proof to us
won’t you make something move for us
can anybody hear a word I’m saying
as the scene just seems to keep replaying
over and over again in the middle of the night
I really like your energy I sure would like you next to
I swear I’m not a fantasy and I’m longing for some human
interaction
you want me to com through for you
I’m trying to but it’s hard to do
It’s been this way since ’32
but not I think I’m finally making contact
won’t you offer some proof to us
...I am trying
won’t you make something move for us
...I am trying
can anybody hear a word I’m saying
as the scene just seems to keep replaying
over and over again in the middle of the night

about
Before Dawn Appleton, Wisconsin
“A hook and synth-laden wall of sound decorated with memorabilia from 70s punk rock, 80s new wave, 90s club music and, well, just about anything else you can think of! With a timeless showmanship and knack for comedic timing, this two-person outfit is guaranteed to start a full-on dance party with or without you.” – Shawn Petsche, Sled Island Music Festival Promoter ... more
