Queen Black Acid

Menomena are a band from the U.S. and have been around for ten years. They mix gui­tar, glock­en­spiel, bass, bari­tone and alto sax, keys, per­cus­sion and vocals, play­ing sev­eral instru­ments at once and swap­ping between songs to create a blissed out sound. I'm loving 'Queen Black Acid'. The lyrics are a beauty and the song smooths out your mind like a chrome plated iron.

 

I get so caught up in my ways
sometimes I overlook the simple plains
I feel like certain times in my life
are met with certain times for pain to thrive
you're five foot five, not a hundred pounds
I'm scared to death of every single ounce
and worst of all is when it's calm
cause I know the sea won't be calm for long

you bring me down

I walked right in through the rabbit's door
and walked right into the rabbit's hole
I made myself an open book
I made myself a sitting duck

I don't know how I missed the signs
I must have passed by them a hundred times
you barely notice what I say
you're busy looking round the room instead
I get so caught up in my ways

I walked right in through the rabbit's door
and walked right into the rabbit's hole
I made myself an open book
I made myself a sitting duck
I'm walking down this rabbit trail
my feet grow heavy with every step
I stop to eat and take a nap
and now I can't find my way back

you bring me down
so down
