lyrics

I don't know where to turn, I ran away till I burn in the sun
I went away to the dance level, was the last haven honey
My own perspective had not mired
If a weight was high fashion, there'd be no floor here only sky

I'm feeling funky now, everybody has a hard line
I'm feeling funky now, everyone is too assured

Said bye to this tortured crowd drowning in hate
I'll keep slipping my way into a gold lame
And I'll be the Fortune Child, drawn up in my paint
till lightning strikes me down

So I lose control, till all that's left is a shell of old soul
I went away to the dance level, was the last haven honey
Where I could really lose my mind
In a wade of high fashion, the bourgeois nail and crucify

I'm feeling funky now, everybody has a hard line
I'm feeling funky now, everyone is too assured

Said bye to this tortured crowd drowning in hate
I'll keep slipping my way into a gold lame
And I'll be the Fortune Child, drawn up in my paint
till lightning strikes me down

about

Thick Modine Raleigh, North Carolina

Thick Modine broadens on a form of rock and roll that melds the swampy funk and growl of southern rock with the raw truth that is the essence of the blues, often with a hint of the ragged, seat-of-the-pants spontaneity that defined early punk.
