Biography:
DeVotchKa is an American band that melds a collection of influences into a blend of rock 'n' roll.
The band's fifth album shows influences of the Arizona desert with producer Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Neko Case) to create a compendium of short stories inspired by the varied moments the band experienced since the release of A Mad & Faithful Telling (Anti-, 2007).
Like many bands, DeVotchKa spent much of their early years traveling the highways and byways searching for gigs and a musical direction.

[Intro]
G F x 4
[Verse]
G
Lady future's arms are lily white
F
They stretch before you come inside
G
There's room enough, she's generous
F
Come on, come up, while we're still young
G
You want to love your life from a prison?
F
Of all this uninvited altruism
G
The homemade weapons you're fashioning
F
Are hellbent on doing us both in
[Chorus]
G
You never mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean?
F
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
G
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
F
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
G
You better mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean?
F
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
G
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
F
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
[Instrumental]
G F x2
[Verse]
G
Let's begin at the beginning
Let us revisit the past
F
Like when the houselights are dimming
Like silver screen photograph
G
It makes a beautiful sound
When nobody else is around
F
It has a wonderful way
Of eating up entire days
G
We'll go swimming in libations
F
Forgive unexplained lacerations
G
The otherworldly manifestations
F
I could live in the breath you're wasting
[Chorus]
G
You never mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean?
F
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
G
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
F
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
G
You never mean what you say
Why don't you say what you mean?
F
I never get anywhere
I get the space in between
G
Beautifully mutilated
Instantly antiquated
F
I will admit I almost always underestimate it
G
You don't owe them anything
F
No, you don't owe them anything
G
No, you don't owe them anything
