Fair To Midland - Upgrade^Brigade Lyrics






Glow but don't shine,
A fuse for a blueprint devices my hands built,
For these roads want the rain in my raincoat,
Drown in the flash flood,

For we are alive,
Given air; not used to Al Fresco,
Does the sun know,
Today, I forgot the zeros and ones,
Told you to conquer the rush,
Sunday, I remembered paper beats rock,
Reached a mile high if I reached a foot,

Leopard skin is not above or beyond,
He's no more a prince than a frog is,
For these roads should not have shed for a witness,
Taken bites to avenge us,

For we are alive,
Given air; not used to Al Fresco,
Does the sun know,
Today, I forgot the zeros and ones,
Told you to conquer the rush,
Sunday, I remembered paper beats rock,
Reached a mile high if I reached a foot,

I'm figuring out the one thing he's not is above or beyond,
And no one's packing up, taking on or making goodbye for me all alone,

Today, I forgot the zeros and ones,
Told you to conquer the rush,
Sunday, I remembered paper beats rock,
Reached a mile high if I reached a foot.

  1. b.... ....

    I love about the Fables version is that the album mix fits this song so awkwardly, and that gives it a dystopian-kind of feel.

  2. C.... 4....

    This song is so good. SO GOOD

  3. B.... B....

    I cry a little every time I listen to FTM... my dad who is now almost 70 showed me them back in 2009... i was 26 back then. love them so much.

  4. P.... P....

    Best song composed so far

  5. T.... L....

    Is it me or should this have been around 10 years earlier? I love it don’t get me wrong but its Raunchy enough to been around in the 90’s.

  6. J.... W....

    I love this fuckin band. so so good.

  7. M.... H....

    He's no more a prince than a frog is.

  8. S.... H....

    Wait. Hold on what? Darroh is the band. Who is saying this?

  9. M.... H....

    Awesome guitar line, holy shit

  10. s.... ....

    I am figuring out that the one thing he's not is above and beyond.... wish I hadda known this song before my last boyfriend ;)

  11. t.... s....

    paper beats rock reached a mile high if i reached a foot this is freakin awsome

    t.... s....

    tamberlyn saddiah so true

  12. J.... P....

    He says "for we are alive, give given air" not "far away i'm alone in given in"
    Also, it's lep, leopard skin is not above or beyond him

    J.... P....

    Also, I'm pretty sure he's saying "Today I forgot the zeroes and ones, told you compute the root" not conquer the rush.

    J.... P....

    Sounds about right, although truthfully even hardcore FTM fans still disagree on lyrics. It's like they intentionally have more than one understanding.

  13. J.... P....

    You cannot change Darroh. He is a god.

  14. m.... ....

    i like the vocal quality. I dont understand why some people think that they should change the singer. He seems to be singing from the heart for which each of their songs is great.

  15. b.... ....

    isn't there this little piano riff in the end with darroh saying something like "won't give you up...... won't...."

  16. M.... G....

    I fuckin love ending of the song!!

  17. M.... D....

    @dan52484
    If you like this you'd probably like Porcupine Tree.
    try this:

  19. D.... ....
