lyrics

A panel of experts couldn’t zip up his fly
The lawyer and doctor couldn’t keep his shoelaces tied
Then he stepped over a line, and out the frame of our minds
And when the other shoe dropped, he stumbled into Stalin’s photoshop

Feet first
Shot with a cocktail at his very first cry
Round after round, year after year
Drunk child
Couldn’t be walked home, but did we really try?
Yeah I tried

Officials have yet to let his exile thaw
I hear he’s in snow-shoes running laps in Siberia
Was his breach born of fate?
Was he cruelly erased?
Stomped out and stamped for life?
Or could labor’s boot re-educate?

Feet first
Shot with a cocktail at his very first cry
Round after round, year after year
Breech birth
Couldn’t be walked home, but did we really try?
Yeah I tried

about

Extra Life Queens, New York

Extra Life was formed in 2007 as the main vehicle for New York-based guitarist/ composer/ singer, Charlie Looker. The music is a fusion of aggressive math rock, dark dramatic pop, modern classical, and ancient liturgical music. Looker was a founding member of NY noise-chamber outfit Zs, and of industrial metal band Psalm Zero.

Extra Life went on hiatus in 2013, and returned in full force in 2022. ... more
