helenseviltwin sent me this fire guitar track and I had fun building a song on it. Thanks, Art Cohen for the recording assist.
Helen says: Super-impressed with what Cubizm did with this track.
Chaos City: Where You Live
You left last night with no goodbye some make-up smeared around your eyes
You were so intent to slip on by that you left your coat on the laundry pile
Do you want it?
Did you go?
Is it over?
Maybe so
I look around
But I never know
If you live here
Or you don’t
I caught your back and your taillights ripping to route 95 toward Chaos City
It is where you live, it is where you feed, you are turmoil in my head
It’s not easy to make a break
But you feel like a big mistake
All you do is take and take and take
I’m relieved that I’m not that way
Lover, I guess it’s over
Go find another
And leave me alone
Do you want it?
Did you go?
Is it over?
Maybe so
I look around
But I never know
If you live here
Or you don’t
In your coat
I found your key
Now there’s no need
To ask for it
Go figure out
what you believe
And enjoy your time in chaos city

Great driving punk music and awesome attitude delivering these punchy pointed lyrics! Fab collab!

Love the way you build the story, and the idea of Chaos City. At first I thought it was describing the morning after a one-night stand, and I love that the "you" of the song does, or did, live there, and that the narrator isn't sure either! The guitar track is indeed fire -- and so is the vocal performance, wow!

What a fun FU song, love it! Great title too.

Wow! Love it! Great vocal delivery! This one really rocks! Is that Steve and Art playing? Love songs that end with the listener wanting more! I'm downloading this so I can hear it when I need an adrenalin rush!

The sound of this brings me back to the CBGB days of early female-driven melodic punk rock! Rock on!
