'Shave off my eyebrows, let 'em fall to the ground / So I can't look surprised right now.' Hah! But it also made me think of the soft to upbeat 2-3 punch from Good News, 'The World at Large' into 'Float On,' complete with the 'ba ba ba's.' Stylistically different than the first song, Brock continues to set the theme for the rest of the album: 'Pack up again, move to the next place / Where we'll make the same mistakes.' Our excuse this time? 'Yeah we got spines and we have bones! This is how it's always been and this is how it's gonna be.' We're humans and are going to destroy where we are and just move along and do it all over again. It's probably the most danceable tune the band has created - and yes, I danced to it when I saw them in New York last week. When I first heard the studio version, it immediately reminded me of the band's last first single, 'Dashboard' from We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

Song 1 goes right into song 2, the band's first single from this album and a song that they've been playing on the live circuit for at least the past 3 years.
