Lyrics:
I'll make things right, prove you wrong
Get us both out of this hole
And drag you home, however far
You will come like a falling star

And cling on to what was told
Innocence, such a funny word
Proved me wrong, but i got it right
I lost the war but won the fight

I promise this, today
I'm gonna dash away
Make this giant leap
Nothing's there to keep

Kept my word and nothing more
Kept the demons from my door
Keep your key, no need to break it
Keep your smile, i know you fake it

Lyrics:
I got the mean reds tonight
I kinda crushed my car, but I'm feeling alright
I'm dazed but not confused
I'm broken but can still be used

I'm running out of songs i can dance to
"La Vie En Rose"' is out of the list, stained with sperm and goo
From the fish up in the air  
And boy, they do exist, I have seen them there 
Up there

But i'm coming around

"Come with me"
No, i'd rather stay in the sand
Where they can't swim, oh they hate dry land
Though we were born in dark water's blue
That sea's gone dry, if we only knew

But i'm coming around

And i distinctly remember that time
Inside the park where we got so high
And i lost a year of my life
I thought that you were going to die
And so we fucked beneath the stars
On building rooftops, inside cars
Dead period blood, still red like Mars
As i adore all of my scars

So i guess 
Love is in the air, but it's deep and dark
Like a pilotfish, hanging around with the shark

Lyrics:
Another song starts in here
Speeding up on a broken gear
Now there's no Eve in my car
That robot's found a better plug

And it fled to outer space
It's only me now in this race
Never take a turnaround
Got my wheels down on the ground

So I hold on for a few more miles
Cause this road will never end
Just like that last word
"I'll see you around" i said

I think of where i've been
Places i have seen
Beauty on the skin
Hence now it doesn't mean anything

Don't care where i'll be
Which faces i will see
The desert and the sea
A great time to settle for everything

So I hold on for a few more miles
Cause this road will never end
Just like that last word
"I'll see you around" i said

And as I put my sunshades on
Drive a road I've never known
I feel the momentum down my spine
Nothing's lost, nothing's mine

Like a robot on the run
Cleaning up and having fun
I feel that old familiar groove
That's what keeps me on the move

On The Move

Lyrics:
This is just a product of late night alcohol
I listen to my voice echo down the empty hall
And as I’m naked in my house because it's summer
I think how all of love's small flares turn out a bummer

It’s the distance that you walk without your shoes on
It’s the moonless road you drive without your lights on
It’s the book you always read with pages missing
It’s the night at New Year’s Eve where no one's kissing

It’s the party that you have where no one shows up
It’s the years that seem to pass and you don't grow up
It’s the love you hear of in songs but never find it
And though you know you never will, you write about it

Lyrics:
I’ve been a new kid in the town
Running on and losing ground
Living still in 93
When I bought my first cd

I’ve been a geek and been a freak
I guess I still am, so I don't speak
I wanted to be a cartoon
Or maybe Paddy McAloon

Adolescent changes
I hate them like blank pages
Why did we have to choose
Like Parker Lewis, he couldn’t lose

There is no explaining
The sun shines but it's raining
Music was so great then
It still is, i'm just complaining

I looked up to the sky / and the rains
The aeroplane flied high / fell down on the plains
Computers where ok / and we got along
It took me time to say / although it was wrong

I’ve been a new kid in this town
I ran around and covered ground
Living still in 99
When i thought the world was mine

I’ve been a downer, been away
Guess i had too much time to play
I wanted to be on TV
Just say my shit and then break free

I looked up to the sky / and the rains
The aeroplane flied high / fell down on the plains
Computers where ok / and we got along
It took me time to say / although it was wrong
And i felt safe
I looked up to the sky / away from there
The aeroplane flied high / just breathing the air
Computers where ok / with nowhere to stay
It took me time to say / just for a day

Lyrics:
Who’s driving on a whole new highway?
Who’s driving on a whole new lane?
I’ve been driving to a whole wrong way
  
We were so high so we just fell
Dried up and guilty as hell

So walk away, it's the only way
Try to leave today, don't say "life's ok"
I could drive all day, takes the pain away
Throw it all astray, no one’s gonna stay

Lyrics:
Maybe it was the photographs
of all those cars
or the freckles on your face
like tiny fading stars

I wouldn’t know what to say
ain’t so good at that
when i speak to you
l’m like a small blind cat

And through pixels i tried
to make my way to you
spent my time in the black lodge
till the light came through

Cause you 're radiant like the sun
you could light up the earth
if we all were drugs
you would be blue meth

Where clay dolls come to life
and want to flee forever
where plush toys are in love
one-sided though as ever

Yeah it’s so nice to dream
d’you make it without
you ‘re that kind of girl
people write songs about

Thelma Blankenship are George Gorgo and Nick Vallas, from Greece. The band started somewhere in the mid zeroes, producing at first home made electro pop songs that made it to a few compilations, then later on forming as a proper band. After various live perfomances, the band self-released a single and an EP in 2013. They tend to blend pop melodies with electric and electronic sounds and rhythms, building songs with samples, loops and vocals. Their live performances are more dynamic, with guitars, laptops, bass and synths marrying new wave aesthetics with dance music.
// Thelma was a junkie and she was always high. Skyhigh. //
