about

"The Long Con" was recorded at Studio Red by Adam Lasus (Helium, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Happyness, Dumptruck) and mixed by Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, At the Drive-In, Moaning).

lyrics

I thought I had to choose
But I already had what I wanted
Now the reformed art school kids
Turn the knobs that are giving me static

We spend a lot of our time
Drinking a lot of all right wine
It made me think I got reborn
But it turns out I died twice

Now the long con is long gone
Now the long con is long gone

And it was pretty pathetic of me
To think that I could ever change a goddamn thing
I was over a barrel, angry and blue
My feelings were My War side two

I found a hole in the smoke
Where I tried to extinguish the butt of a joke
And if this is real life
How come I can still see the boom mic?

Now the long con is long gone
The long con is long gone

And a good rain's gonna wash this town away
A good rain is coming any day

The long con is long gone
The long con is long gone

And a good rain's gonna wash this town away
A good rain is coming any day
And a good rain's gonna wash this town away
A good rain is coming any day
