Halfway Home Lyrics


The lazy way they turned your head
Into a rest stop for the dead
And did it all in gold and blue and grayThe efforts to allay your dread
In spite of all you knew and said
Were hard to see and harder still to sayA comfort plush all laced in lead
Was sent to quell your sentiment
And keep your trembling sentinel hand at bayAnd when a sudden silhouette
Escaped the top side of your bed
I knew you'd never ever be the sameIs it not me, am I not folded by your touch?
The words you spoke I know too much
It's over now and not enoughIs it not me, the damage you hold inside your blush?
The load you towed, you showed it up
It's over now and I'm insaneWild spirits winds from out your chest
Collides with world and wilderness
It needs a gentle hand to call it homeNow surfs the sun and scales the moon
And winds the waistband of her womb
All eyes ablaze the day you break your molds it not me, am I not culled into your clutch?
The words you spoke I know too much

We're closer now and said enoughIs it not me, am I not rolled into your crush?
The road you chose unloads control
See it take me so go on throw this stone into this halfway home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
TV on the Radio is a Brooklyn, New York, USA-based band that was formed in 2001. Their music is difficult to classify and is often described as art rock or post-punk, but is educated by a diverse spectrum of styles including freeform jazz and a cappella music, psychedelia and trip-hop, modern soul and classic '90s indie rock, giving them a unique and original sound. The core members are Tunde Adebimpe (vocals, loops), David Andrew Sitek (guitars, keyboards, loops) and Kyp Malone (vocals, guitars, loops), but the band is accompanied by additional members when performing live. On record, they've been joined by Jaleel Bunton (drums) and Gerard Smith (bass) (both of whom have recently become permanent members), Martin Perna (flute, saxophones) and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (guitar). Celebration's Katrina Ford and Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino have both made vocal contributions to various TVotR tracks and even art rock legend David Bowie (an early advocate and advisor of the band) has a vocal cameo on 2006's Return To Cookie Mountain.

Their first album was the self-released OK Calculator (the title being a reference to Radiohead's seminal album OK Computer), the majority of which is wildly different from their later sound, with elements of electro, hip-hop and turntablism. Later they were joined by Kyp Malone and released Young Liars (EP) and Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes (LP) to great critical acclaim, the latter earning them a Shortlist Music Prize. They have since released a second EP, New Health Rock which contains a new track, New Health Rock; a cover of Modern Romance and The Wrong Way, a track formerly available on Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes.

In February 2006, TV on the Radio signed to Interscope Records in the USA, leaving their longtime label, Touch & Go. They are signed to legendary English label 4AD in the UK and Europe. Their highly-anticipated album Return To Cookie Mountain was released in September 2006.

In September 2008, the fourth album, Dear Science was released to great critical success, earning the honor of album of the year from Spin Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly. The band embarked on a tour in its support.

The band's fifth album, Nine Types of Light, was released in April 2011. On 20 April 2011, the band's bassist Gerard Smith died of lung cancer at the age of 36.
