Comes in shrink-wrapped jewel case and includes a 6-panel insert with complete lyrics and original artwork by Joseph Gonzales.
Please email theband@thereadyaimfire.com if you would like your copy signed, in which case it would not be shrink-wrapped (unless you don't plan on opening it, in which case you should make sure to mention that so I can sign the shrink-wrap, but that's weird).
Also includes immediate download of 13-track album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire.
The nights were all electronic, the earth was a pixilated comet, my voice was all ones and zeroes til you showed up. This whole goddamn city is a desert, the air is suffocating, it's aching with desperation. Yeah, I'm all choked up now, I'm all choked up now. Now that you're the lyric I could never cross out, yeah, you're the book I could never put down. I'm just scared when I wake up in the next town, you'll forget I was ever there at all. Oh, she gets cleaned up and I'm stuck in time. "Let's get out of here, let's get out of here. Oh, let's not wait too long, let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here." I said, "Oh, there'd be nothing in our way, like swimming in the ocean, you could just keep on going, so let's just keep going." But we just drift through the night, drinking all we can. Yeah, we drank all we can, yeah, didn't we, love? Yeah, we tried to forget: soon we'd be just tears in airport terminals, gasping for breath. And when the dawn crept up, my eyes refused to adjust to this empty bed as that silence poured in. I said, "Oh, let's get out of here." I said, "Oh, let's get out of here." I said, "Oh, let's not wait too long, let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here." So kiss me. Let's skip town.
