about

Cracked Ceilings is the new musical project featuring Nate Jones, formerly of St. Louis's own Kentucky Knife Fight, as it's sole member.

Jones has composed complex backing tracks that combine bass synth, keys, realistic and electronic drum sounds (not unlike The Kills or Ween) and loops live guitar parts (a la Andrew Bird or Tuneyards) and sings over these tracks.

This is the second of a 5 track demo. Donations are not necessary, but are welcome and will go towards t-shirts and other merch to be made shortly in the future, as Cracked Ceilings will be getting out of town as often as possible and is looking to tour frequently.

lyrics

lyrics:

Someday a mountain of gold cans
Will cover my body
As it's swallowed by the ground underneath
My tombstone will read:"here lies the dive bar king,
Crawled on hands and knees to establishments that closed at three,
Learned all the names of the greats and promptly forgot them
And stumbled back out into the street"

All the friends that you have shunned
Become the ones you've rightly won
Before the morning comes

Scanning the rooms for the last
Signs of life in the pre dawn
You cast your gaze like a
Dragnet across the bar floors
Can't catch a single stare
Glazed eye or a bored yawn
Even if you could
Morning comes, they'd be gone

All of the friends that you have shunned
Become the ones you've rightly won
Before the morning comes

All of the ones that wished you hell
Become the ones that know you well
Before the bar light swells

Bridge

All of the ones that knew you well
Become the ones that wish you hell
Before the bar lights swell

All of the friends you've rightly won
Become the ones that you will shun
Before the morning comes
