Middle Kids - Edge Of Town Lyrics






I cannot remember
Anything you say
When the streets are talking
Yeah, they call my name
And I walk a little further
I could go all day
And the trees are reaching
Pointing out the way

I got all muddled up and journeyed to the edge of town
And then the road cracked open
Sucked me in, then I went down
Now standing face to face
With the king of the underground
Some things just don't add up
I'm upside down
I'm inside out

I came a little closer
To the truth that day
I heard it's call
In the alleyway
And the one resounding answer
That I could take
Is that I don't know nothing
And I got no way

I got all muddled up and journeyed to the edge of town
And then the road cracked open
Sucked me in, and I went down
Now standing face to face
With the king of the underground
Some things just don't add up
I'm upside down
I'm inside out

I got all muddled up and journeyed to the end of town
And then the road cracked open
Sucked me in, and I went down
Now standing face to face
With the king of the underground
Some things just don't add up
I'm upside down
I'm inside out

Hey, guy, have you got something on your mind?
Tick, tock, can I take it for a while?
Hey, guy, have you got something on your mind?
Tick, tock, could I take it for a while?
Hey guys I got something on my mind
Tick, tock, could you take it for a while?
Hey guys I got something on my mind
Tick, tock, can I take it for a while?
Hey guys I got something on my mind
Tick, tock, could you take it for a while?
Hey guys I got something on my mind
Tick, tock

And I got something on my mind
And I got something on my mind
And I got something on my mind
And I got something on my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Thanks Spotify for introducing me to my new obsession. I don't know the background to the lyrics but I do suffer from bi polar disorder and between "Some things just don't add up, I'm upside down and inside out" and the last lines which I cried to yesterday "Hey, guys! I've got something on my mind, tick tock, could you take it for a while" I'm in love so much it hurts

  63. M.... T....

    I got something in the mail that was record shaped so opened immediately. It was 'Middle kids', and was a gift to me from a friend. I feel bad I opened early, but enjoying the music right now. (sorry Rob)

    Heard this on the radio at midnight on my way home from work. The ending part came on ("hey guy you got soemthing on your mind") and I sat and waited for the song to finish before going inside and getting rest.

  66. B.... ....

  75. Q.... ....

    Love this song

  76. a.... s....

    Great song! I discovered it while listening to Fordham University radio during a long drive down I-95. The song reminds me of another cool, under-recognized song but I can't recall who sang that other song either. Geeesh! It's really tough for talented new musicians to break through. I hope we'll hear more from them. Thank God for college radio keeping cool songs from new artists like Middle Kids on the air waves.

    a.... s....

    I also discovered them on WFUV, streaming on their app down in Florida.
