lyrics

Olly really wants to make it in a rock and roll band
But the chips were stacked way up too high
So she deconstructed Artemis and sung her demands
About the hills and trees under the skies

Well she tried to take a rhythm from a hole in the world
But the filters cut out all the vibes
So she took her hooks and plucked a lead guitarist from air
Licks were dancing ‘cross his fiery eyes

She wanted, to make it, they started a band
And the songs flowed out like waterfalls
They needed a bassist, one dripped down from high
She was cool as ice and knew a drummer that was fine

(CHORUS)
Here comes

Olly and the Equinox Band
Olly and the Equinox Band
Olly and the Equinox Band
Olly and the Equinox Band

Olly olly olly and the equinox band
Singing songs for you and me today
But when tomorrow comes they’ll have to travel up to the sky
To a monster that they’ll have to slay

Because a star-shaped starship crashed down to earth
And it granted them powers divine
And now they fight for all of earthkind
Vanquishing interdimensional monsters all the time

(CHORUS + GUITAR SOLO)
“Drum-o, drum solo!”
(DRUM SOLO)
“Cool...”
(GUITAR & BASS SOLO)

Heroes deemed by the human race
Oh they’ve fought in outer space

Sixty hundred fathoms down
Below in the ocean they can be found

Anywhere that evil should appear
Tall as a skyscraper, small as a deer

They are always in the nick of time
To end its destruction and secure its demise

They just wanna go home
Want to go home, want to go home
And play their music at the local venue again

They just wanna go home
Want to go home, want to go home
And take the burden off of them and their friends

They just wanna go home
They can’t go home, they can’t home
They have to do this every other weekend
They have to do this every weekend now and again

They sometimes have to get up at three A.M.
They just want to be band, but it won’t end

(SLOW CHORUS then FINAL CHORUS)
