about

The suburb next to the one I grew up in once had a sign at the border reading "City of Homes and Industry." For whatever reason, I took that as inspiration to write (a long time ago) a sort of Byrne-like re-estranged view of typical suburban goings-on... The chords are intentionally nearly random: the idea was to challenge myself to write a melody that made them make sense.

There are a lot of notes here. Sometimes, that happens.

Yeesh.

lyrics

An animal looks at concrete
Orange rubber turns grass brown
Blue light from plastic boxes
Spheroids knock things down

Metal boxes with metal wood
Plastic seats and rubber wheels
Roll to obtain prefab flesh
Seared on stainless steel

Lawns and industry

Rocks are treated violently
So internal structures flow
Pressures force a change in form
Low-frequency waves glow

Water gas jumps as they cool
How do you think they feel?
Everyone smiles as we're stamped
Happy painless steel

Lawns and industry
