lyrics

DELAY-i thought there was a place/where stars shone bright with grace/
and rain fell slow to time/as wind dispersed its seed/and now I learn I can’t revive the past I’ve lost/
and I shall pay the cost/disuaded by the state that traps my mind in place/delay/there is always time/
but how much will i be calling mine today/i will search to find/a chance that else may only bring delay/
i’ll repeat the line/replace the marks insisting that I stay/towards the sun that blinds my way/
delay/ i can see now you’re lost inside the trap that holds you down/the safety of your net
creates a yearning to regress/on back receding towards a tiny place that holds you close/
to feel the dark it makes within your yearning to embrace/the fear that grows inside keeps churning every day/
as the world surrounds and moves to block your way/and now you’re holding back the things that you regret/
but reaching towards the sky brings more than you could bet

I went back to this song 10 or so years after Jane's Addiction wrote this and reloved it. You guys just reminded me of how great the song is. I love this album already. I'll always have this version nearby 😁 Thank You Emileigh & Lederman 🤘 punkyitz

Watch Out!
by Rohn - Lederman

supported by 9 fans who also own “Delay”

Emileigh Rohn has an uplifting electricity in her voice that fills me with hope and energy. Now she teams with another living legend in Lederman to focus that fire into a swirling slow motion golden whip. Add in top tier remixes from Assemblage 23, Mark Hokings, and Leatherstrip and COP has put out another home run single. After working with electrosynphonic masters to create emotive sonic paintings like this, the only question that remains is. What will she do next? preciousken
