Dead Man Talking
from Happy Birthday by Wilkes Oswald
lyrics
Felt you board the train
Saw you down the drain
Higher up, lay 'em down
Take you out
She's not making a sound
Shit hit the stream
Felt like a scream
Play it down
Stay on the ground
There's no time to waste
Turn is mine to roll the dice
I see clear, crystal plane
I see wide, a vision of pain
Head roll like a hound
Change your mind
Lets go and run this town
Stop in your tracks
Stay on the ground
Saw you down the drain
Higher up, lay 'em down
Take you out
She's not making a sound
Shit hit the stream
Felt like a scream
Play it down
Stay on the ground
There's no time to waste
Turn is mine to roll the dice
I see clear, crystal plane
I see wide, a vision of pain
Head roll like a hound
Change your mind
Lets go and run this town
Stop in your tracks
Stay on the ground

about
Wilkes Oswald Miami, Florida
4 dudes in Miami formed a band in 2009 called Wilkes Oswald. Influenced individually and collectively by acts such as The
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Muse, Daft Punk, and Kanye West.
No two live shows by Wilkes Oswald have ever been the same; they get off on the art of spontaneous, improvised sequences in their live shows; sometimes completely improvising a new song on the spot.
