about

The tale of "a pair of star-cross'd lovers" and old circus tents. Jackie Elo played the synth bass line and bells for this tune.

lyrics

(Verse)

Now and then I still recall
Your mouth tasted of alcohol
We fumbled kissing in the dark
Teasing our arc of electric spark
So young that we didn't know
That love and lust are mostly art

Met you at a house party
Still don't know how you got there
You grew up in the circus tents
Traveling around in an old Airstream
Your family spun through time and space
Always flying with consummate grace

(Chorus)

Smash together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

Smash together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

(Verse)

Halfpipe on a summer night
Spray painted names by rust twilight
Smeared them riding in the dark
Laid together side by side
Holding hands and tracing stars
We fumbled kissing in the dark

Said goodbye as night turned to day
Watched your family drive away
Next year when the circus came
Your family never returned again
I hoped for some twist of fate
Maybe you'd arrive but just late

(Chorus)

Smash together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

Smash together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

(Verse)

Now and then I still recall
Your mouth tasted of alcohol
We fumbled kissing in the dark
Teasing our arc of electric spark
So young that we didn't know
That love and lust are mostly art

A rose glass of introspection
Through the lens of retrospection
See you flying through time and space
Always with a confident grace
I wonder if we met today
Would we just fumble anyway
Would we just fumble in dark
Would we just fumble in dark

Smashed together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

Smashed together pull apart
We crashed together than fell apart

The Plagiarists started as an evolving group of friends. The current line-up gelled in the Fall of 2019, just as we fell for the blank slate of writing and recording. We hope you enjoy our music and that these tunes fill your heart with a little joy and set your mind adrift to wander! ... more
