lyrics

Sleep fades, I'm awake
Airtram to The Palisades
Arms around my carry-on
I'm scratching out a stain
Cool breeze in the bathroom line
That air-con's nice
I'll take my time
Been trekking so long
It's tempting to unwind
But I've thoughts
To build to paradigms
I undertake it now...

I just carry on
Like Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and Marcus Aurelius do
I just carry on
Never fear death just fear you won't ever live true
"In chaos there's opportunity"

Hike up to the next tier
Don the chapeau
Ready to go
You say you'd like to
Follow me here
Follow me round
Down this road (Well, it's nice to get to know you then)
Enchanté, you're the thinking man
It feels so good to meet again
Enchanté, I'm a thinking man

Talking blockchain
On the beltway
Catch a report
On the radio waves
But I know better than anyone...
Another dollar another day
Brad's app market is red ocean
My app market is blue ocean
Got me someone who can code something
I have all these thoughts about mankind
It's like I can see the signs...

I just carry on
Like Sun Tzu, Machiavelli and Marcus Aurelius do
I just carry on
Never fear death just fear you won't ever live true
"In chaos there's opportunity"

Hike up to the next tier
Don the chapeau
Ready to go
You say you'd like to
Follow me here
Follow me round
Down this road (Well, it's nice to get to know you then)
Enchanté, you're the thinking man
It feels so good to meet again
Enchanté, I'm a thinking man

Yes
That's right
You're thinking man
You're the thinking man

Hike up to the next tier
Don the chapeau
Ready to go
You say you'd like to
Follow me here
Follow me round
Down this road (Well, it's nice to get to know you then)
Enchanté, you're the thinking man
It feels so good to meet again
Enchanté, I'm a thinking man

Drop the needle and drop right out of all the worries of the world. If only for a while. It’s totally worth it. These are fantastic tunes from a legendary band. Just mind blowingly beautiful then savage then beautiful again. Yep…. bit like life. Enjoy…. johno71

EP2

More ambient and exploratory than their motorik-heavy debut, Dummy continues to evolve into a more confident band with its own distinct creative vision on EP2. Admo
