lyrics

come close, i've something to say
love is such a maddening affair
much harder men have fallen
the sweat, tears, the heartbreak
still we yearn to burn

you rip it up then start again
don't want to stay, can't bear to leave
no sympathy for broken men
who make amends but can't be friends

boys can't be timid or frail
love is such a humbling affair
safety in the middle
while the footing's very brittle
still so much to learn

we all have dreams of fairy tales
the diamond rings, the happy end
it all starts here, this lonely space
a lucky swipe, a perfect life

girls must be precious and fair
something that your father once said
mother said be bolder
it will save you when you're older
one day they will learn

bridge

all this beauty will fade
love is an improbable dare
deep inside, we crave it
we hoard it, get complacent
seems we never learn

love is such a maddening affair
still we never learn
love can be a trying affair
still we yearn to burn

Life...set to a dance beat. The soundtrack of your trials and tribulations. Injecting a generous dollop of drama along with extra helpings of synths and sass into an otherwise dreary and desolate musical landscape is what The Mystic Underground are here to offer. A collision of sounds. A thoughtful and whimsical blend of man versus machine.
