Out on the street
we were clean
and we deserve this
on the winter we were vampires
vampires vampires
You with your smoking
with your smoking
with your smoking
and me popping iron pills
iron pills
iron pills
oh and back on the street
we were clean
and we deserve this
on the winter we were vampires
vampires vampires
And it's not unlike
unlike
unlike
all the house you see
on the tv
on the tv
and it's no unlike
unlike
unlike
Angelyne stalking sunset
sunset

Out on the street
we were clean
and we deserve this
on the winter we were vampires
vampires vampires
You where're children
where're children
where're children
and me at the truck stops
truck stops

oh and back on the street
we were clean
and we deserve this
on the winter we were vampires
vampires vampires
And it's not unlike

unlike
all the house you see

We are the last house in the world
there is no other one I'm sure
'cause when they took our tv away
it's like the whole world fell into the ocean
And when they took our outside privileges away
I knew it was gonna be you and me today
But the beaches are freezing
and I don't even know the way
the beaches are freezing
and I don't even know the way
We are the last stop in this town
and no t-shirt shops on boardwalks
are gonna shut this party down
'cause when they took our car keys away
that was just fine with me
I can drink in the house for free
and when we found the bathroom
by the light of the camera guy's phone
I knew it'd be you and me tonight
And I knew I loved you
before I even found the door
I knew I loved you
before I even found the door

My origin is still unclear
this tension unfolds with every smell
shedding of my skin from its flesh and its grease
only reveals the bad seed I must have been
Under the pale moonlight
my stomach painfully growls
you hide the silverware from my kitchen
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
I am lulled by the sound of your incantation
this full moon ritual a delightful detour
one day it will wane
oh, honey soon your tactics will wane
Under the pale moonlight
my stomach painfully growls
you hide the silverware from my kitchen
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
Under the pale moonlight
my stomach painfully growls
you hide the silverware from my kitchen
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
clench your teeth
and wait for me to
...eat you

Bleed it out for the marks in the crowd
where the teardrops fall
Losing loud from the tops of the towns
in the woods by the National Mall
Get over in Memphis
Lose an eye in Louisiana
and die
die in Orlando
Spend an hour on the hotel floor
until the heat dies down
call your family on the way upstate
to hear your real name said out loud
Get over in Memphis
Lose an eye in Louisiana
and die
die in Orlando

I look around
and watch you
creep on closer
Your lame body moves
sickly
to a beat that doesn't
exist
So, what do you call it?
dead arm swinging
So, what do you call it?
giant leg stomping
I look around
and watch you
creep on closer
Your lame body moves
sickly
to a beat that doesn't
exist
So, what do you call it?
power lines shaking
So, what do you call it?
skyscrapers falling
Am I a freak
to join you
on the red dance floor?
You the mayhem
in platform shoes
creeping along
So, what do you call it?
the new Zombie Stomp
So, what do you call it?
the new Monster Mash
(did you just say the new Monster Mash?)
(yeah, so)

I wake up early like I always do
to watch the kids line up down in the shade
This part of town doesn't see much action
but any fool knows that's where money's made
Go down to the floor to see some old friends
some who don't talk to me anymore
But that's alright
When the sequel sees the light
there'll be lines around the door
But the crowds aren't like they used to be
Kane Hodder told me at the dealer space
But me I never knew the difference
at least down here they let us show our face
And I can't wait to fly home to you
and tell you all about the beaches
I'm just holding out
for one good year
then god help me I'll disappear

Chestnut Los Angeles, California
"Sometimes, though, the world inverts, turns upside-down, and the unexplainable breaks through. Things don’t always make sense, and Chestnut’s shadow-strewn music is a part of that inversion.” (James Catchpole, A Closer Listen)
Chestnut recommends:
This record really runs on its own time. If you're not careful you can get sucked in. It's warm, dense and allows you to feel comfortable with your own discomfort.

A forward-looking record that imagines the future of Rio de Janeiro, built on intimate textures, ambient, drone, classical, and bossa nova.
