Calm the noise Struttin’ Rodeo like we oughta know ya Girl mind your manners I’m the Ayatollah The sinners faith Heaven I can show ya Round the boys Let’s shift these devils down Pacific Coast I Get the perception all these others spoiled ya I’m no average day I already told ya Look, I don’t mean no disrespect My vibes out surfed the rivers My time behind the rubble is through I’m known to tear the roof off You struck a tank of gasoline From Cali onto New York I’m the true boss No question baby I’m the man Call your friends Yeah they’ll sit perfect in my other Benz babe there’s more cash where that came from Mad cause they can’t stunt Ride if you tryna win Ah lay your hands where you want to Indulge till you feel loose Let’s jive through your issues I’m known to tear the roof off You struck a tank of gasoline From Cali onto New York I’m the true boss No question baby I’m the man Baby l thought y’all knew I come from the sun and the moon I ain’t nothing like these dudes I can paint your green grass blue Lay your hands where you want to Let’s top these off and get loose I’m known to tear the roof off You struck a tank of gasoline From Cali onto New York I’m the true boss No question baby I’m the man

Yo, I’m the one they huntin after Leather moto-Jacket swagger Young and wild, grippin’ down somethin’ good These hills are of the lovers fragrance The smell of californication Now, what you say we rumble through these woods No, I don’t toy with Mother Nature I bow my head, and let her play, yeah They say the reaper comes huntin’ And I ain’t hard to find Propane and women Money on my mind I’m the wolf of the wild baby Go to town baby, yeah yeah Ain’t no ceilin’ to my skies. (Nah nah nah nah) Send another over mama Can’t be sober now See they gon’ try to run me out this town. I can hear the tide speakin’ to the moon Baby don’t cry I’ll be home soon Left a trail of tears for ya I pray my son don’t try and catch up Cause, Lord knows I await my doom They say the reaper comes huntin’ And I ain’t hard to find Propane and women Money on my mind I’m the wolf of the wild baby Go to town baby, yeah yeah Ain’t no ceilin’ to my skies. (Nah nah nah nah)

Blind To The Signs 03:48
lyrics

Im a bad man Russian Roulette with my omens Cities ragin’ let get savage Ah, and burn down this town She said how’s it feel To run amongst the stars? Chasin’ thrills To sunset boulevard I’m not insane But wrongs like my zone Find me speedin’ down a one way Chasin’ shadows into L.A. Save your breath spare me the warnings Tonight I’m blind to the signs She’s a bad thing Caught her jukin’ through a night rave Pasadena had me cashed in Ah, and love drunk for more HAKIM: You know them bright lights have always been a magnet I know I shouldn’t be here Somehow always end up here again Attracting sin I’m down the rabbit Let’s take it for spin My inner kid been cooped up Like it’s been inside the orphanage Seen Prada on so many But the devil look the best in it You breeze pass I’m thinking how the hell you got a heaven scent I’m looking at reflection I done lost myself Know that desire hot as fire Better learn how to melt Will I crash and burn Tell me everything’s ok, ok Forget the signs I’ve been known to hide In this palm tree shade Blind to the signs Find me speedin’ down a one way Chasin’ shadows into L.A. Save your breath spare me the warnings Tonight I’m blind to the signs

Line em’ up Tryna to turn this Henny into action Blind enough Fell and stand victim to the slayer Suit to kill Baby’s super nova with the fashion Keep it real Make firm the honey see it ain’t a game Now I don’t mean to But I been howlin’ Add this moon juice And things start reven’ rapid Cut through the cedar Only to find her Watch the flame wither If I don’t work Light up the fire now go Traveled way too far Swam through waterfalls A shooter in the dark Well Maybe we can go somewhere and talk No pressure at all Ain’t no thing at all Now I don’t mean to But I been howlin’ Add this moon juice And things start reven’ rapid Cut through the cedar Only to find her Watch the flame wither If I don’t work Light up the fire now go

Lost In My Head 03:40

I’ve been lost up in my head y’all I’ve been lost up in my head y’all It’s like an emotional stampede Drown these Pharaoh’s with this Hennessy See they don’t love me like she used to And I’m to blame from all these issues Hence the asshole reputation And God ain’t sent me no redemption Cause I’m so lost up in my head y’all I’ve been lost up in my head y’all Ah shit I’m out of my mind Babe keeps roaming through my telephone In hopes to find whatever’s hell grown I can’t seem to keep her happy With all these devils out to chase me See I saw a vision of the rapture And all the sinners lived on after See they gon’ feed me to the vultures If I don’t get my shit together But I’m so lost up in my head y’all I’ve been lost up in my head y’all Ah shit I’m out of my mind Almost ripped apart my block to find my sanity Tryna rise my stock but I'm at odds with gravity Did my God create these laws to write my tragedy The words are on the wall curtain call here on this balcony But I’m thinking this is where the plot thickens blocked vision kept me from seeing the key to my prison Locks hidden but I’m breaking up outta this hog system This is my rhythm I’m a victor that’s non fiction I pray you’re still watchin’ over me I can’t do it without your hands on me Save me Lord help me Find somethin’ new I pray you’re still watchin’ over me I can’t do it without your hands on me Save me Lord help me Find somethin’ new

Back Home To You 04:08

Bed was made Failed to sleep Killed concern Hunted weak Down this shadowed road No hand to hold Where’s June Rivers raise Mirrors speak Face the truth I’m in too deep She was my suicide That December night Then came June What can I do What could I do What should I do To tame the lonely wolf And come back home to you Shattered faith Loner type Ran these streets No friend in sight I played on the dealers side Was bred to hide My love for you What can I do What could I do What should I do To tame the lonely wolf And come back home to you I’m afraid I Was a werewolf Feeding off the likes of you If I ran now Would these street lights Heed the time to land the moon What can I do What could I do What should I do To tame the lonely wolf And come back home to you When these clouds fight With your sunlight All is fair Shed a tear They may rumble Through your dark nights Have no fear God is near Father pull me From this hell wave Cut my curses From his veins Told my lady Simba’s sorry Deep sincere

Love Is A Garden 04:20

Another red rose Erupts from the soil Setting the earth with the others What is this magic The purest of water That grows all these beautiful colors Beyond the weeds Reigns the sun Bathing you and me Your love is a garden Love me like the aloe I was left to bleed Limping through the meadows Clutching to the trees It showered more than ever Been dark for several weeks I recognized your halo And rustled from the leaves And there you were hovering Collecting every pedal fallen Continued to water me Never to let my heart depart Your love is a garden Found myself deep down a cavern Suffering complexes of me But then the cabbage grew And the moon is new It’s only you that’s always believed And there you are hovering Collecting all the pedals fallen Continue to water me She’ll never let my heart depart Her love is a garden A garden Another red rose Erupts from the soil Setting the earth with the others

about

What began as a simple networking retreat to Los Angeles vastly inspired a contemporary-vintage work of art that would aid the birth of The Fey’s freshly developed brand and sound. Palm Tree Shade takes a modern-day 80’s expedition through The City of Angles, allowing digital synthesizers and drum machines to lead the way. A notable contrast from the 70’s vibes of their 2018 EP, the band’s premier full length album pays homage to the architects of digital pop music with tasteful innuendos of Prince, Jackson, and Collins. The Fey's architect Zach Watkins reveals his emblematic battle between man and wolf, stemming from his infatuation with big city fast life, driving him into the acceptance of maturity and wisdom.

"Genre bending and blending is commonplace in today’s music, but few do it as smoothly as the Nebraska-based group The Fey.
Self-proclaimed as “alternative R&B”, the band also bring in elements of blues, soul, reggae, electronic, and more. All of the above is clearly displayed on Palm Tree Shade." -The Big Takeover
