lyrics

Lazy afternoon I choose to waste away down in my room cause
I'm gonna stay here for a while
Avoid the busy world outside, but the front door is still open wide so
Maybe I'll see if that's my style

The summer sun is setting deep inside my head
And I just wanna go to bed
I'm surfing through the modern world and it's not free
That's all it really means to me
Hey TV set, hey internet, so long
Just got to find somewhere that I belong

Danger's gonna call from the attic to the shopping mall but
Let's take it in for just a while
A nuclear family apparently was not my destiny but
I don't really care, I just wanna smile
And if you find bliss in ignorance and I find bliss in ignorance
I guess it makes a lot of sense that we ignore each other
But now this world's a pretty sight, so maybe I'll do something right
One day I'll grow some common sense and stop bouncing the Checqz

Transmit Receive Jupiter
by Rchetype ft. Wolfgun

supported by 5 fans who also own “Surfing the Modern World”

Crisp, clear, and incredibly fresh! This album masterfully reforges some of Wolfgun's best songs in a way that respects the source material and remakes it into a lush, detailed album brimming with texture. Despite their many layers and moving parts, these tracks never feel too busy or congested - instead, they harmonize to create this incredibly melodic and uplifting selection of tracks I find myself returning to with a great deal of regularity. Absolutely excellent album, highly recommended! Mordecai
