about

Originating as a solo song by Ian Quiet, it was rearranged into a rock song by The Ian Quiet Band and released on their first EP, Darby! It's about a curious community in Shreveport, LA where very weird things happen. It has since become one of The Ian Quiet Band's signature songs.

lyrics

I was in line at Kroger
You were looking fine joker
I was there to pay my bills
They were overdue, by a week or so
Yeah, you know
It's all part of that Highland Lifestyle, that Highland Lifestyle
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Ooo, aliens from outer space
Just landed in my backyard
They are hardcore
About they're shit
We light a fire, make s'mores
No marshmallows for me
I'm a motherfucking raw vegan bitch

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the roll call!

Kings Hwy, Highland
Dalzell, give you hell
Topeka, will freak you

I was in line at Kroger
You were looking fine joker
I was there to pay my bills
They were overdue, by a week or so
Yeah, you know
It's all part of that Highland Lifestyle, that Highland Lifestyle
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Ooo, aliens from outer space
Just landed in my backyard
They are hardcore
About they're shit
We light a fire, make s'mores
No marshmallows for me
I'm a motherfucking raw vegan bitch

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the roll call!

Kings Hwy, Rutherford
Dalzell, give you hell
Topeka, will freak you

I was in line at Kroger
You were looking fine joker
I was there to pay my bills
They were overdue, by a week or so
Yeah, you know
It's all part of that Highland Lifestyle, that Highland Lifestyle
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Ooo, aliens from outer space
Just landed in my backyard
They are hardcore
About they're shit
We light a fire, make s'mores
No marshmallows for me
I'm a motherfucking raw vegan bitch

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the roll call!

Kings Hwy, Olive Street
Dalzell, give you hell
Topeka, will freak you

The Ian Quiet Band image

The Ian Quiet Band Shreveport, Louisiana

The Ian Quiet Band goes against the grain. Forgoing conventional songwriting, they attack the listeners with a 2 bass assault that Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison calls "a mix between B-52s and Sex Pistols.". Playing shows all over the South, The Ian Quiet Band brings to the table a unique sound and highly chaotic and crowd inclusive live show. ... more
