I Can 02:54
What a day This dehydration's got me feeling strange And I can't sleep like I've got eyes on me Like these walls are only paint And it's okay But heat is getting to me and I think My lungs are small and the window won't No, the window won't stay up There seems to be A faulty countenance Of stacked cement and bricks So make sure to roll the windows down Before the bridge collapses Driving out My back is sweaty and I'm all alone Sometimes I think I'd rather never go To sleep than to an empty bed Where'd it go The summer moves so fast, if I were home I think it would've lasted longer, oh It'd still be early in July It's a long way out To all those old places The ones where we were kids Yeah I love you OKLAHOMA, COLORADO, CALIFORNIA, TEXAS I'd sing about how I woke up this morning But I didn't go to sleep last night So instead I'll dream about a bird who's Got patterned feathers and sunflowers in her eyes Oh and if you say the word that I'll never make a movie And I'll sleep sad every night Well I'll tell you that you're wrong and that I don't need sleep No never, and You can't sing but I CAN oh I CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN I CAN I

the Dancing Hats Portland, Oregon

The Dancing Hats is a folk-rock n' roll outfit out of Portland, O.R. and they have the most fun. Forming over a weekend excursion to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and soon adding anybody they could find (violins! trombones! mandolins!), the group stays up late playing anytime they can and would love to sing for you whenever you would like. ... more
