lyrics
A bottle rocket shot out of a backstreet lot
Trucks up on blocks the empties knocking
Around in the back as we rush straight
Through the Speedway
After the manic landscape blur
Of the flyover states
Suddenly it’s so clear the rest falls away
And I’m back in this country of 2
Where’m I going where’m I coming from?
I’ve been a faceless waitress
And data-collecting something
Someplace off the freeway
It doesn’t matter what I do
To pay for the days
The only thing that’s real, the only place
That’s home is here in this country of 2
Oh, the scenery comes and the scenery goes
And morning feels like the afternoon
But I don’t feel foreign or confused anymore
In this placeless place I found with you
The sound of cars comes crashing in
To this glass-walled box up on the hill
But I’ll never tire of the rhythm that it brings
To this placeless place you found me in
Oh these stars and stripes are just sickle-celled,
hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart.
These stars and stripes are just sickle-celled,
hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart.
Trucks up on blocks the empties knocking
Around in the back as we rush straight
Through the Speedway
After the manic landscape blur
Of the flyover states
Suddenly it’s so clear the rest falls away
And I’m back in this country of 2
Where’m I going where’m I coming from?
I’ve been a faceless waitress
And data-collecting something
Someplace off the freeway
It doesn’t matter what I do
To pay for the days
The only thing that’s real, the only place
That’s home is here in this country of 2
Oh, the scenery comes and the scenery goes
And morning feels like the afternoon
But I don’t feel foreign or confused anymore
In this placeless place I found with you
The sound of cars comes crashing in
To this glass-walled box up on the hill
But I’ll never tire of the rhythm that it brings
To this placeless place you found me in
Oh these stars and stripes are just sickle-celled,
hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart.
These stars and stripes are just sickle-celled,
hammer-headed sharks and we will remain apart.

by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 5 fans who also own “Country of Two”
Eerie, haunting, melancholic and unbelievably sexy. Chelsea Wolfe has always been a very versatile songwriter, from gothic doom to noise, to acoustic balads and everything inbetween.

Unknown Rooms: A Collection Of Acoustic Songs
by CHELSEA WOLFEsupported by 4 fans who also own “Country of Two”
The first time I listened to 'Pain is beauty', I was instantly enamored of Chelsea Wolfe's unique sound . It is dark and raw but simultaneously sensual. On this acoustic album there is an added fragility which I find enchanting.
