In ballrooms, it’s silk tuxedos
Poolside, it’s velvet speedos
Fireside, it’s smoke and satin
In the study, it’s Greek and Latin

The first time I was free
I climbed the willow tree
As naked as a cat or kangaroo
I clammered to the sky
And asked the planets why
We’re made to do this tango
Me and you

In ballrooms, we glide and twirl
Poolside, we smile at girls
Fireside, it’s leaf and whiskey
In the study, we get frisky

The last time I got hammered
I roamed the streets and stammered
As naked as a donkey or a dove
Remembering when you danced for me
I swooned as if entranced by thee
A gift laid bare before me from above

In ballrooms, we masquerade
Poolside, we all parade
Fireside, we mend our spirits
Me and you

On this side of the river Cumberland
The drums roar
You can feel the thunderin’
There are pathways through the woods
On the banks we trade our goods
Dogs, they bark and cats escape
Water boils and cornbread bakes
And the tribe is doin’ well
Sitting round the firepit singin’

On this side of the river Cumberland
The storms roll
You can feel the rumblin’
It’s like nothin’ we’ve seen before
Half the town ain’t here no more
City planners say they should
Redefine the neighborhood
So begins the exodus
Packin’ up our stuff while singin’

On this side of the river Cumberland
It’s changin’
You can read the marketin’
Some go bust while others boom
Who’s the next big land tycoon
But the drums still thunder on
And the storms are far from gone
Dogs, they bark and cats run free
Life goes on in Tennessee
And the tribe is doin’ well
Sittin’ round the firepit singin’

On this side
On this side
On this side

On This Side of the River Cumberland (Single)

You've never had this dream
You've never seen this vision
Yet you're cool and collected
Like nothing's changed
'Cuz you're shatterproof

You've never been this way before
You don't know what it means to be here now
It feels familiar
And you don't know how

And you're shatterproof
The world's in pieces
And you're shatterproof

You've seen it all
You're looking still
You hear the sirens call from your windowsill

You're shatterproof
The world's in pieces
And you're shatterproof

Pieces (Shatterproof) (Single)

Pieces (Shatterproof)

Making music has been the life-long passion project of Tennessee-based graphic designer and web developer Lindsey Boise. Most known for his work with Agua Trip, Boise's solo project is a relatively new venture. Music born out of experimentation and genre bending, a lab ready to implode.
