Going Out Tonight

from Better Than This by Kotorino

/

lyrics

Nothing left to say, 
nothing more to try...
so bite your tongue and come with me
for some rebellious exercise

The moon has a cold pale smile
and when she's smiling just on you
hold your broken breath take a little step
and she'll see you through

Oh me, oh my
it was only yesterday
when we would go swimming 
along the shoreline

oh my, oh me
something got lost at sea
and they took you away
in the middle of the night

not without a fight

that's right we're going out tonight
take that dress out of the closet
lace your slippers up tight
that's right we're going out tonight
don't fuss don't fight it
let's leave this place behind

you're staring at the sky all night
their candy makes you sleep all day
I'll put a star onto your finger,
our enemies will sing about
how we got away

I won't sit passively by
and watch them cut your world apart
I've got a five point plan
on the palm of my hand
and I know you can hotwire a car

we would go on the big swing
and see the clouds beneath our feet
you would laugh and sing and whistle
between your crooked teeth

there's a Dairy Queen 
where the swing set used to be
I can buy you ice cream just to see you
smile between your crooked teeth
smile between your crooked teeth
just to see you smile between your crooked teeth

Oh me, oh my
it was only yesterday
when we would go swimming 
along the shoreline

oh my, oh me
something got lost at sea
and they took you away
in the middle of the night

that's right we're going out tonight
take that dress out of the closet
lace your slippers up tight
that's right we're going out tonight
don't fuss don't fight it
let's leave this place behind

I'll put a star onto your finger,
our enemies will sing about
how we got away

about

Kotorino Brooklyn, New York

WNYC says:
…Kotorino has one of the most unique and unusual sounds of any band, ever. Even in a music scene saturated with “chamber-pop” bands and odd instrumentation, Kotorino stands out with its use of all variety of winds, strings, and other musical gadgetry. The music itself is omnivorous in its source material, quite pretty, and downright haunting ... more
