lyrics
We were down on the stairs
Shaken out of our chairs
Broken glass at our feet
Twenty flights to the street
By the light of Saba's cell phone
Out of touch and out of time
I saw the sky fall
I felt the floor implode
And fate unfold
And everything went bright
No matter where I go
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
I see...
Fear in the dark
When they raided the park
Cut your hair, get a job
Pepper-sprayin' the mob
Is this only the beginning
Or the beginning of the end?
Take only what you need
Or take all that you can steal
And count the ticking wheel
On military time
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
I see...
Fear walkin' home
With my hoodie pulled on
She had a short, short skirt
At the mall after work
And just around the corner
Here come that well-dressed Dead-end Man
He said, "Boy, you up to no good"
He said "'No' means nothin', girl"
Who will the public soon forget?
Look at me, now look at you
No matter where I go
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
No matter who I see
No matter where I go
No matter where I go
No matter who I see
Don't tell me I'm unforgotten.

about
The Melobellies Chapel Hill, North Carolina
A genre-bending tapestry of songs from the point-of-view of colorful characters transcending their every-day existence. On
Plymouth Rock, The Melobellies paint pictures of love and loss, and great expectations against the ragged backdrop of the American Dream.
Sometimes a bit cheeky, often laced with sharp irony, the music of The Melobellies is easy to dance to, but made for listening.
