Biography:
Foxygen is an American indie rock duo originally formed in Westlake Village, California in 2005 by Jonathan Rado and Sam France.
Their music initially featured many influences from 60s psychedelia, played with a rough lo-fi abandon. They self-released several EPs and albums between 2007 and 2011, including "30 track space opera" Jurassic Exxplosion Philippic, most of which are by now scarcely available. In 2011, they met producer/songwriter Richard Swift after handing him one of their EPs

[Intro]
Dm Bb C
You say you want a mother not a confidante
Gm F
But for years you’ve been doing what you want
Dm Bb C
Now your mother don’t know where you are
Gm F
She don’t know that you’re the superstar
[Verse 1]
F Gm Bb C
Little prostitute boy, step
F Gm
Said if I don’t accept your beautiful lie to what you know
Bb C
Then I show these people how to grow
Dm Bb Dm Bb
Oh All this water
Dm Bb
Not since making a doubt
Dm Bb
All inside
F
You’re all messed up
Gm
You’re all dressed up
Bb C
For the letdown
F Gm
If I get on we’ll make it
Bb C
Time for the middle school dance
[Instrumental]

And until I fall asleep

F Gm F Gm
It’s detention here?
F Gm F Gm Bb C
What’s the tension here?
[Verse 2]
F
I put my head down in the evening light
Bb
I like to walk round in the sunshine
F
I put my head down in the sand at night
Bb
I put my hands down and I know where you’re at, know yeah
