So you want to get gone Laughing so far away Pull out onto the turnpike Throwing times away Make no stops or calls No questions of the day Go on go on get gone I am here to say yeah yeah What's up with the sound Going all around Buzzing in your head make or break instead So you want to turn out All that's left to come Dig a hole and get in it Stop what's become Don't you look outside No timing and no place Go on go on get gone I am here to say yeah yeah What's up with the sound Going all around Buzzing in your head Make or break instead Make or break instead So you want to get gone Laughing so far away Pull out onto the turnpike Throwing times away Make no stops or calls No questions of the day Go on go on get gone I am here to say yeah yeah What's up with the sound Going all around Buzzing in your head Make or break instead What's up with the sound (I am) Going all around (here to say) Buzzing in your head (yeah yeah) Make or break instead (yeah yeah) What's up with the sound (I am) Going all around (here to say) Buzzing in your head (yeah yeah) Make or break instead (yeah yeah)

I have lived here too long Something has just turned out all wrong I'm trying to make my way, but it's hard I wonder how much longer it will be And you can't see the stars at night You can climb to the top of the mountain, but they all hide And I'm living across the street from a national landmark Wondering how long it will be Living across the street from a national landmark Wondering what's wrong with me So, you hear your favorite song And you ask yourself to whom it belongs And if living across the street from a national landmark Has got you on the back of all time Living across the street from a national landmark Wondering what you will find I know you believe in how you got it going, that it always showing I know you believe that these kinds of notions won't put it all in motion I've been wondering how you got received, if you had to bleed, if you really need I've been wondering how you got believed in now I have lived here too long Something has just turned out all wrong And I'm living across the street from a national landmark Wondering how long it will be Living across the street from a national landmark Tell me what's wrong with me I've been all excited, I've been all excited, I've been all excited, I've been all excited I've been all excited, I've been all excited, I've been all excited, I've been all excited I've been all inside it, I've been all and tried it, I've been all to mind it, I've been to find it I've been all to guide it, I've been all to find it I've been all... I've been all... I've been all...

about

"Capital City makes urbane-yet-homespun pop that recalls the golden age of that sort of thing... They whip up familiarity and warmth quicker than most bands can disperse drink tickets." - Magnet

"Combining full-on radio rock hooks with spritely vocals and caramel-sweet melodies, Capital City summons the best of indiepop, tempered with pop radio savvy. The Sound dishes out smart, mid-80s pop stylings. Dueling guy-girl vocals and more bounce than a room full of beach balls make this an instant gem." - Shredding Paper

"The A-side [The Sound] is an irresistible pop ditty... the brooding B-side National Landmark impresses me the most as it shows a band whose songwriting is becoming more poignant and sophisticated, while still relying on their pop roots to produce a sound that is sparse, yet full, still homemade and yet with with a haunting production style that makes my ears smile. If only there were more bands as good as this." - The Noise
