about

This track is off of Bandits on the Run's forthcoming EP Bandits Live at the Power Station.

It was recorded Live at NYC's historic Power Station recording studios thanks to the unwitting generosity of Berklee NYC.

lyrics

Do you live on a lonely island?
Do you live on a lonely hill?
Are you perched in a pot in the dry dry air
On a lonely window sill?

Have you finally found that you're an only child?
Do you stare at the ground where the flowers grow wild?
Or have you taken root, don't plan to move,
Till the sunlight don't come round?

Daaaaaa da da da, dadadadadadadada

Do you think about the future?
Do you think about the past?
Does your time drag along like the pace of this song?
Do you dream of it draggin' fast?

Have you suddenly seen that you're a single seed?
Do you brothers and your sisters give you woe like the weeds?
Or are you scared of the sun, don't plan to run,
Til the rain starts coming down?

Oh, down in the valley, in the soil of your soul is your family. (Fa-Family)
Don't dilly-dally, don't boil up a bowl, it's your family. (Fa-Family)
And when you think that you've thought about all that you got
Just remember that thinkin' that is thinkin' a thought,
And the voices in your head think you’re better off dead
But they're the only company you got, yeah, the only company you got!

Daaaaaa da da da, dadadadadadadada

Do you need somebody to want for?
Do you want somebody to need?
Or have you learned how to live out of lonesome love
Like a low-life I call me?

Perhaps you believe there is no need to grieve
You are all that you need to be alone and free
Or are you scared to run — don’t plan to run —
Til the fool's gold has been found?
And the sunlight don't come round?
And the rain keeps comin'

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

about

Bandits on the Run image

Bandits on the Run New York, New York

Bandits on the Run are your friendly neighborhood criminals, whose sole purpose is to reinvigorate the element of surprise by making musical mischief in unexpected places.

To your ears, these whimsical criminals will sound like a nostalgic medley of old and new: strummed, plucked, and bowed away on cello and guitar, and propped up on an old timey spine of three part harmony.
