lyrics

Verse 1:
Amongst all these zeroes
I think I might’ve found the one
But like Emperor Nero
I’m flying too close to the sun

Chorus 1:
You might say “Hey,
Don’t you mean Icarus?”
And you’d be right
But Rome,
Rome is still burning
And we both know
Who lit that fire

Verse 2:
This isn’t like me
Usually I have all of the facts
An answer for your questions
Whenever you think to ask

Chorus 2:
You might say “Why,
My dear Icarus
Would you trust in wax?
When Rome,
Rome is still burning
Rome is still burning?”

Bridge:
With my head all full of passwords
I cannot recall the past words
I used to open up
I used to open up
Complications alpha-numeric
It’s so cryptic I can’t bear it
I used to open up
I used to open up

(Instrumental Breakdown/Outro)

Bicycle Face Winnipeg, Manitoba

Bicycle Face is melodic pop with elated electric guitar, scintillating synth and intricate harmonies. Idiosyncratic lyrics tell stories of ambivalent fairy tale heroines, lost love in outer space, and computer viruses intent on world domination.

Bicycle Face was formed in Winnipeg in 2013 by second-cousins- once-removed Ava Glendinning and Theresa Thordarson.
