about

A couple of years ago we bought this painting from Pyramid Studios, a visual and performing arts school that serves adults with severe disabilities. One day I was just looking at the painting and thinking how metal it is. I wrote this song in one sitting and I just wanted it to be fun and goofy and sad and then fun again.

If anyone happens to pay for the song I will definitely donate that money.

lyrics

I’m getting kicked
At every orifice
The internet says it will
Be alright
And I’m pretty good at
Believing lies

But this
Low-grade apocalypse
Has got me thinking maybe
I was wrong
For thinking I knew any
Things at all

I’m getting kicked
Out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world

I’m getting lit
As the kids say these days
There are no consequences
To catching fire
As long as you’re sure you won’t
Have to drive

Like taking the kids to school
Or showing up to work
Or driving back home from work
It makes me tired
Just thinking about it

But I’m getting kicked
Out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
This Sunday

In between eight and twelve
In the big tall church on Liberty
They’re gonna shoot me into space
In a personal rocket made just for me
So I might end up in New York
Or maybe South Australia
Or Mars

I’m getting kicked
Out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
I’m getting kicked out of the world
This Sunday

about

Pacing San Jose, California

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue. McTigue’s writing style has been described as “tongue firmly planted in cheek” (Surviving the Golden Age, 2022), an “off-kilter and wonderfully weird world” (CLOUT, 2022), and “I don’t get it” (multiple sources). Despite her safety net of colorful characters, jokes, and metaphors, the real her always manages to slip in somewhere. ... more
