lyrics

Before she fell asleep  on the kitchen floor
she made him promise to protect her from the storm
he tried his best but she wore a dress
when then climbed trees in the park
they had to pretend, they liked his girlfriend 
when they sat in the dark
she lights a cigarette, "I gotta quit" she smiles at him
he knew right then he would never give up he could never give in 

10,000 lakes in the North Star State
10,000 miles she was running away
he tried to find her but it was too late
she tried to find him but she was too late
10,000 lakes in the North Star State

Cheap wine parties, with crazy Matty, 
Ralph and god dammed mother fuckin Butch
they'd grow up someday, but promised not too much
they drank till they cried, It's A Wonderful Life here's to little Zuzu
he cried till he drank, she would never come back 
it was all he could do

10,000 lakes in the North Star State
10,000 miles she was running away
he tried to find her but it was too late
she tried to find him but she was too late
10,000 lakes in the North Star State

lying on the floor What A Wonderful World, What A Wonderful World
lying on the floor What A Wonderful World, What A Wonderful World
lying on the floor What A Wonderful World, What A Wonderful World

sometimes the days, don't stay where they should
sometimes goodbye, just ain't no good
if I ever go back to cold St. Paul back to cold St. Paul
I'll never go back to cold St. Paul back to cold St. Paul

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
