Personal Cathedrals

Aly & AJ

Bleeding sunset on a desert view

A sea of cocktails but every drink is empty

Cold shoulders and bad perfume (Ooh, ooh)

Ring the bell, it’s a cattle call

You self-park too?

How did we end up on the edge of the infinity pool

I won’t jump in without you

Let’s leave this party right now

We never liked these people

Cowboys and hopeless crowns

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

They treat these lonely dance floors

Like personal cathedrals

Even diamonds here don’t shine

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

I’m at my end here but I’m hanging on (Ooh, ooh)

All I can do is nod my head or play dead

Who’s the fool celebrating who, could this be any less cool

You laugh and say I love you

Let’s leave this party right now

We never liked these people

Cowboys and hopeless crowns

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

They treat these lonely dance floors

Like personal cathedrals

Even diamonds here don’t shine

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

We should’ve left by now

It’s clear we don’t know how

We don’t know how

Let’s leave this party right now

We never liked these people

Cowboys and hopeless crowns

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

They treat these lonely dance floors

Like personal cathedrals

Even diamonds here don’t shine

Spinning us all around

Looking us up and down

Review

Best known for their 2007 hit “Potential Breakup Song,” the duo, formed by sisters Alyson and Amanda Michalka, have finally returned with their independently-released fourth studio album “A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun.” The album balances synth-pop with breezy, California-inspired pop-rock production — all of which is best heard on “Personal Cathedrals,” which features an engineered twang and intriguing storyline. It’s about ditching the hedonistic lifestyle that they’ve fallen out of favor with.
