These Clothes
from Wilxtape by Wilkes Oswald
lyrics
I’m racing
My baby
Shes waiting for me
She calls
Shes crying
Drive faster
I’m trying my dear
And then I get home
Shes sitting alone
Dialing the numbers on her cell phone
Why, why
Why’re you not looking me in the eyes
Is she mad
Told her I was at work
Is she buying
By the time that i took
Knows I’m lying
But I’m trying
I’ve been lost
Been takin my time
Hit the club
On my ride with a girl of the night
For the night
Cop cars
Lights flashing
She answers
They're talking ‘bout me
Hold up
What’s happening
She leaving
Running right past me
Thinking back
How am I home
Was driving my car
But now it’s gone
Light, lights
Flashing right before my eyes
Did I die
Did I not make it home tonight
Did I die, did I die
Did I die
Did I not make it home tonight
Crashed my Benz and I lost my life
But my clothes never looked so bright
Did I die
Did I not make it home tonight
Crashed my Benz but I looked so tight
Did I die
Did I not make it home tonight
Crashed my Benz and I lost my life
But my clothes never looked so bright
These clothes
They're shining

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.
