lyrics

While at the brink of seventeen
I'm in the business of selling lies to myself
And if you think we'll reach eighteen
You're in for a big surprise, I can tell

This is my own trash talk
Perpetual glowing shock
In between you
And yourself

I'm in the limbo, oh no
This is no place to go
And now I'm flying, flying, flying
Until the darkest star

While at the brink of seventeen
I'm in the business of selling lies to myself
And if you think we'll reach eighteen
You're in for a big surprise, I can tell

And while I wait for chance,
For a better playing hand
A stylish ride... ah
A change of charm... ah

I'm in the limbo, oh no
I stop at your feet or so
And then I'm silent, silent, silent
While you just walk on by

While at the brink of seventeen
I'm in the business of selling lies to myself
And as I hope to see you keen
I want this foolish prize, you could tell

I touch the risky send
Distant from where you mend
A taste for pride... ah
The same sore eyes... ah

I'm in the limbo, oh no
Is this the way to go?
But you're still silent, silent, silent
So I get no reply

Caught by this silence
Searching for miles and
Your girl was at that place
You're sure it was her face?

Caught by this silence
Searching for miles and
Your girl was at that place
You're sure it was her face?

While at the end of seventeen
I learn to say goodbye, that's the end
And as I stomp on my own feet
It comes as no surprise
Kiss and tell

about

Marty Was Right Lisboa, Portugal

Time travelling is heavy! The reference to Back to the Future is obvious, as it should be. Marty is in fact one person, coming from Lisbon, Portugal, which was a long time ago obsessed with the science fiction trilogy that dwells on alternate realities and how to avoid them. Loosely defined as guitar-driven indie rock, it's hard to know if it's the guitar doing the singing or Marty himself ... more
