lyrics

I'm sorry if I happened to sound curt
I was trying to save the last of my voice
But since the rest of the band is out getting drunk
I might as well let myself have some fun

Are you old enough to try?
Are you still young enough to die?
You really let me down,
but I lead you on,
so save the chatter and bites.

Our bassist never pulled the car around
so we continued drinking for an hour
None of us realized he was busy touching his nose and walking in a straight line.

Am I the chernobyl dog?
Do I really have no spine?

I didn't want to have to tell you this over the phone,
but things just aren't looking up for me.
I'm going to have to quit the band.
Yes, I quit Telyscopes.
But I hope that you'll both understand,
that it's not you,
"It's not you it's not me"

It's just me
because I have no spine.

I really am the chernobyl dog
I have no spine at all.
I am the chernobyl dog
I have no spine.

Telyscopes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"Since 2012, Telyscopes has molted through one reinvention after another--shedding layers of lo-fi psychedelia, chamber pop, jazz, and electronica like cocoons as the project grows more legs, prettier wings, or sharper mandibles. The lifeblood remains the same: offbeat lyrics and striking melodies. Often ingenious--never typical."
