Tyrannical
Julian Casablancas + The Voidz air video for ‘Where No Eagles Fly’
The band have also posted lyrics to their spiky, borderline-batshit new single.
Yesterday Julian Casablancas + The Voidz unveiled the second track to be taken from their first ever album, ‘Tyranny’. ‘Where No Eagles Fly’ is seven minutes shorter than the ultra-experimental ‘Human Sadness’, and it’s acting as the main draw from the Strokes frontman’s latest project.
The new track’s just been landed with an accompanying video, which sees the band taking on New York City with blurred-out faces and strobe-filled VHS footage put together by Andy Sonnefeld, with Jeramy Gritter on directing duties.
Old school to the extreme, watch the new Julian Casablancas + The Voidz video below and check out lyrics for the song beneath the player.
‘Tyranny’ is out 22nd September on Cult Records.
please, come on babe, they’ll end up all confused,
what’s the point of telling people if they won’t use it?
fly on the wall, bird of prey in the mall
it’s the eye in the sky, where no eagles fly
meat,
predators eat meat.
predators eat meat.
ceremony or a speech,
in a church or on a beach,
predators eat.
the wolf will cry sheep as they take him away,
we plot in our sleep but follow orders all day
the rhythm is for you but the song is for me,
the meaning might be secret but the melody is free
meat,
predators eat meat.
predators eat meat.
let all my big dreams sink in,
no one to enjoy it with.
oblivious… stay oblivious,
why can you not be more like me?
hiding in a nearby tree.
business, business, i forget,
pray for predators i guess
uh-oh, uh-oh, here we go, all our future’s thru that door
future future’s come to this, everybody cheats i guess
let’s go down to mexico, ‘there’s a couple guys i know’
all our future’s come to this, i don’t want my friends to know
all our future’s come to this, i don’t want our friends
