Darwin Deez

Songs for Imaginative People

Darwin Smith writes, records, produces and arranges using a 4-string electric guitar in his own invented, secret tuning. Five years ago, he left Wesleyan University (and friends MGMT and Boy Crisis) to start a band in New York City, US, where he formed Darwin Deez in 2009. Their current live set features his original songs, harsh electronic noise, and bouts of synchronized dancing. He has been dubbed the Michael Jackson of indie rock.

Maybe you should wonder why your apartment is always so empty

Well I hope you get locked out of that apartment and have to call Jenny

Bad Day

F                          Dm
I'm in outer space on my side 

Of the bed
F                           Dm
On a floating mattress my eyes 
         
Stare ahead


Bb         C            Bb      C
You don't sleep here anymore


F                        Dm
Hovering alarm clock is my

Satellite
F                          Dm
Under little specks of starlight

On a flight


Bb         C            Bb 
You don't sleep here anymore
           C            Bb 
You don't sleep here anymore


Bb                    F
I don't know where I am
    C
I am so lost
Bb                   F
I'm just drifting around
           C
Since you've been gone
Bb       C               Bb
I'm just wasting time away
         C
I'm just wasting time in space


F Dm F Dm


F                           Dm
See a little asteroid pass by 

Underneath
F                                Dm
There's an empty space on your side

And I can't sleep


Bb                    F 
I don't know where I am
     C
I am so lost
Bb                    F
I'm just drifting around
         C
Since you've been gone
Bb       C              Bb
I'm just wasting time away
         C
I'm just wasting time

Bb                Bm
I pull my covers over my head
Bb              Bm
Hope you know I wish I were dead
Bb              Bm
I can't seem to get out of bed
Bb                  
Going nowhere
Bm
Everything is wrong


G                     D
I don't know where I am
     A
I am so lost
G                    D
I'm just drifting around
            A
Since you've been gone
G        A               G
I'm just wasting time away
         A               G
I'm just wasting time away


G                     D
I don't know where I am 
     A
I am so lost
G                    D
I'm just drifting around
            A
Since you've been gone
G        A               G
I'm just wasting time away
         A                      
I'm just wasting time in space

G|-0-0-0---0-0-0--0--0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-|

VERSE 1:

Fling the insulation in the dumpster
We’re expanding our empire of love for her
So tear it all down now, every building here
Most of all the skyscrapers of bitterness and fear

Rip the gypsum out and haul it all away
Level every structure down to the solid orange clay
Spread out the blueprints so we can start
To build a hotel on her heart

CHORUS:
            Dm
Cos I’m not leaving, this is just the place
Fm        C
I’ve been homeless since the dimples on her simple face
                  Dm                                Fm
And I’ve spent my fortune, I’ve torn the town apart
      Cmaj7
To build a hotel on her heart

VERSE 2:

We’ll build it by the beach so she can reach the salty wind
We’ll make it out of poems and the books she writes them in
A forty-story eyesore by the seaside
So she can go swim oh in the ocean whenever she likes

And she likes some other boy now so we’ll have to wait
But when she’s done with him he’ll shake the painted iron gate
And he’ ll say, “Chelsea, baby, did I do you wrong?”
And she’ll say, “no, Darwin was gonna win me all along”

CHORUS:
            Dm
Cos I’m not leaving, this is just the place
Fm        C
I’ve been homeless since the dimples on her simple face
                  Dm                                Fm
And I’ve spent my fortune, I’ve torn the town apart
      Cmaj7
To build a hotel on her heart

BRIDGE:
               Dm
Have you ever seen a wrecking ball as small as her?
            Fm     C
She smashes up my glasses when she passes but it doesn’t hurt
   Dm
I can’t see straight now with this, with this crush
    Fm      G
But I have all of this love to give, and there’s no rush

CHORUS:
            Dm (hold)                      Dm
Cos I’m not leaving, this is just the place
Fm        C (hold)                                C
I’ve been homeless since the dimples on her simple face
C                 Dm                                Fm
And I’ve spent my fortune, torn this town apart
      Cmaj7
To build a hotel on her heart...(2, 3, 4, 1!)

OUTRO (same as verses):

Chelsea, this is for you
yeah, this is for you...

Radar Detector

A                       B            A 
Spiral galaxies would turn in your eyes

You loved all of my little quarks, so what went wrong?

Don't superstring me along, come on

The universe is mostly empty space without you  without you

Wave or particle, I can't be both
                       B           A 
So just say which way you like me most

I can be an experiment in your bedroom lab

To figure how the light we had went bad

I'll build a collider and smash us to bits
                B                     
To see what's inside us, to see if we stick

'Cause I will try anything this side of the Milky Way
     B                     A                   B  A 
To figure out why in the world you're drifting away

The clouds are brown

The city's a ghost town

The city is dead

The rivers a bed now

Litter is blowing all around the sidewalk

We looted the store
               C
We had to eat something

People are sick

The water is strychnine

I heard about sixty nine hundred people have died

The Bomb Song

According to the Radar Detector Songfacts Darwin Deez wrote this song about a girl he was in once in love with  who reminded me of a radar detector in the way as, &quot;she constantly kept her eye out for my well-being, like a loving machine.&quot; 

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count
Bm                       A

D                            A                                          Bm
I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A

D                             A                             Bm

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory


D                        A

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
