Captive Of The Sun

Biography:

Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

[Intro]
F#
A D
F#
A D

[Verse 1]
F#
My miss phonia brought the faders up, now
A D
she's a military grade in Dolby surround
F#
around 5.1, Cue the barking from the baritone
A D
conductor in the pit for the car honk duet
F#
Half-tone harmony from the sewer
A D
Rebel youth choir belt phrases even newer
F#
Dump truck man drops the beat with trash cans,
A D
call 911! We got therapy demands.
F#
Philharmonic got a first chair car crash
A D
Pan the falsetto to smash the glass
F#
It's a drive-by lullaby that couldn't get worse
A D
A melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus 1]
Dbm D
Where nothing comes after, I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters
B Dbm D F#
I don't get out, I don't have fun, Livin' like a captive of the sun

[Verse 2]
F#
So I gotta put my shades on
F#
Riding through the city as I gets my escalade on
F#
Flipping down the streets that my reputation was made on
F#
King of the city, the mayor finna put a parade on
F#
Drop the confetti from off the rooftop
A D
Well I come down candy and let my roof drop
F#
I got a baddie shotgun in a tube top
A D
With some Daisy Dukes on and some tube socks, listening to Tupac
F#
You ain't know I do rock records, I do it all
A D
I got my hands in some cookie jars, you ain't knew at all
F#
I took a chance and threw caution up in the wind
A D
Cuz I got nothing to lose but got something to win

[Chorus 2]
Dbm
We throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks
D
It's gon' end up being a bomb or being the shit
B
They said the fix was in, guess we'll know when it's done
Dbm D F#
Until then we'll just be captives of the sun

F#

[Verse 3]
F#
I sightread the chart, clap the rocks into sand
A D
A 12-pass van on a pot-hold bandstand
F#
got an oil-can hangover by default
A D
and trucks pave the roads with amphetamine salt.
F#
Skull shakin' cadence of the J train rolls
A D
Rhythm of defeat, repeating like a pulse
F#
Marching on and static, lyrics shout a retort
A D
to the melody abandoned in the key of New York

[Chorus 1]

Dbm D
Where nothing comes after. I'm a pass-time streamer, hanging from the rafters.
B Dbm D F#
I don't get out. I don't have fun. Living like a captive of the sun.

F#
