lyrics

Is it hitting home?
The absent no reply.
All the pigs have flown,
No answer can't deny,
Has it come to what's intended,
No one home as was suggested.

Lights are on but there's nobody home,
Last known location's unknown,
Situation's vacant,
It's a hazy strewn malaise,
Lights are on but there's nobody home.

Will the penny fall?
Not active can't respond,
Stumble when you stall,
The outcome's way beyond,
Has it come to what's expected?
No one home you can't defend it.

Lights are on but there's nobody home,
Last known location's unknown,
Situation's vacant,
It's a hazy strewn malaise,
The lights are on but there's nobody home.

Is it all a misdirection?
Sleight of hand on close inspection.

The last known location's unknown,
Lights are on but there's nobody home,
The last known location's unknown,
Lights are on but there's nobody home.

Lights are on but there's nobody home,
Last known location's unknown.

You Are The Resurrection

heard this on Drive 95 BFM, I was walking at the time past a bus stop, so I wrote the name of the artist down, by the bus stop, and well here we are, and it was onto track 2. good lorde Whyte Rushan

It's All In Your Head
by The Kundalini Genie

supported by 8 fans who also own “Lights On, Nobody Home”

Similar to King Gizzard anything this band releases is pure gold. I remember finding them a couple of years ago during a not so eventful office day. I was instantly blown away, so as an avid "odd" music collector I did my research, and came to the conclusion that this is one of the greatest band of all time. I just wish I could get a physical copy. Oh well, one day I will. Aradaan

What a strong debut album packed with a bunch of great songs. Highly recommend to everyone who likes the modern take on this kind of late 60s psych-rock. Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord)
