LYRICS
Well there’s two sides to my tail lights
And they both don’t work
Right
And there’s a motel on the highway
A hundred miles outside of Nashville
And I still don’t
Know when I can come home
But I promised
I would try so
I might be a coward
Well the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the next one was a soft touch
But I bled out below
We were a team
Till you’re toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love
Well there’s two sides
To a fair fight
And you’re the third man out
I was hopeful
With a slow hand
And I got gunned down
Well you asked me
If I could grow up
But I don’t know why for
I don’t know much
I’m a palm frond
Dying on the front porch
Well the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team
Till you’re toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love
Know there’s two lanes on a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling
But I deleted your number
And we both know why
Truth is when I met you
Well you know you made me cry
And I knew you for a second
You were gone in flashing lights
But since I had one lost one
Oh at least I said goodbye
What’s done is done
Is not enough to describe
When I met you I regret you
If it makes for the longest ride
I let you stay in my head
Then it’s overnight
You like when I sing our songs about us
Well you like when I sing our songs about us in the rain
I exorcise us baby
I’m working out the pain
Well I knew you had a heart
But God I knew just how you were
If I’d have known you
I’d have cloned you
Just to see you hurt
Well there’s two sides to a timeline and they’ve all got the same arc
When I’m next to you
I can wave to you
Because we’re miles apart
Know you wrote me
‘Bout you changed things
But baby you know me
I don’t read a damn thing
Don’t ever read a damn thing
Well the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team
Till you’re toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love
Well there’s two lanes on a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling
But I deleted your number
And we both know why
#RainbowKittenSurprise #WorkOut
I’ve never stayed listening to a band solidly like RKS. Everyday. They’re easily my favorite band of all time.
Yes! I feel the same way. When I saw them live, I knew I would be a fan forever.
same
Same! I’ve seen them live twice and it only made me love them more
Me too... I've listened for years and they are still and will forever be my #1 favorite band. Every single song is 🔥 and hits so close to home.
Same, by far my favorite band! I will see them live for the 1st time in september, pretty excited 🤘
I don’t know if I’ll ever find a song more beautifully written than this one
First Class
Yea idk that’s not an easy call
Its called… free fall
Seriously? I thought it was terrible... another stale iteration of the same garb that's been playing on repeat on the "trendiest" media channels for the last 7-10 years. Get over it already.
@@justindy333 awww cupcake you know what it’s so called Free country and you can go somewhere tha fk else and have a nice day ,
Ela's dance moves are so good, everyone looks at home. Loved this band since the beggining.
@@jamesonbornholdt7302 her name is Ela
@@brennadesborough3299 Don't even give this Jameson person the attention. Sadly, they have been replying to any comment which shows support to Ela. Some people are just disrespectful :/
I believe she was a dance major in college.
Imagine if people played along w schizophrenia like this
she is beautiful and sublime ❤️. Takes time to get used to their songs but they just hit
That voice. Never get tired of it.
Like a warm hug ☺
This song is sad in the most beautiful way
seeing this performed live + watching the fender session shines a whole new light to this song.. so excited for this music video! we love you RKS ❤️❤️
I saw them in columbia in April it was easily the best show I’ve ever been to, absolutely magical
You know Ive always said the trans movement will never get anywhere without a musical figurehead - Elton John and Freddie Mercury can be seen as THE reason why gay rights became a thing, No matter what your view was you had to admit that you understood them to be human, you understood who they were through their music. THIS is when the trans movement had this moment.
I myself was like the rest of them, "its a mental condition" I would say - back in 2015.
I feel like I cannot say this anymore, and I have to say there is two trans men I respect very much so.
@@SoSo-li6dn I just wanted to say I read your comment, I think you’re right, and I hope Ela can be a part of that moment like you say. She shouldn’t have to, but she may be willing as artistic as she’s always been.
Good on you for checking your senses sometimes, growth is worth the discomfort, conservatism begets denial, and that’s no way to live.
Thanks for sharing!
@@masonrodrickc8962 You know, im in construction, and you deal with pretty much exclusively other men who shower infrequently. I hired a trans man recently, by this I mean a woman who dresses male and goes by a male name - Had my suspicions confirmed through paying their wages through bank transfer.
Piers Morgan makes the argument of "if you can identify yourself as X then I can identify myself as [insert ridiculous suggestion]" ..... The flaw in the argument is these people have been getting misgendered for a long time, so, self identifying is, for most people, sort of a case of what everybody else thinks when they meet you.
I however do hold some reservations about trans-kids, I think mostly due to the over availability of pornography, and the prevalence of the extreme ends of it being on popular sites right next to the tame stuff. And to be fair, this anxiety is non partisan and is echoed by the likes of Russel T Davis.
No one has the right to say what you can or cannot do with your own body, but bodily autonomy only really becomes a thing as an adult, and as a kid you have to brush your teeth, comb your hair, eat your vegetables and keep your nose clean.
The debate really kicked off in the UK about parental consent in this matter, an in the UK there is now an minimum age for transitioning - which I think is probably for the best.
But in the words of Ella, "its okay to be who you are" - and I think a little gay boy should be a little gay boy first rather than quickly deciding that they must conform to an idea that its easier if they are in, what seems, from the outside, to be a traditional relationship.
I am a grown ass “bro“ of a man and just cried la little driving to this song.
gald to see Ela hasn't lost her absolutely fanstastic energy. her moves and facial expressions are pristine as always
Oh good to know! I was trying to figure out if it was one of the boys in a dress! This is only my second video/song of theirs I've ever heard so I don't recognize the faces yet!
@@chonk_fox89 it is actually lol
@@stokesliles2791 so I found out! I was brand spanking new to RKS and I can't believe it was only a month ago! I've devoured all their music now and am even more smitten with them!!
How is it that every song of them feels like a movie?
So glad Ela came out and is being her authentic self! I wish her unabashed joy while she continues to grow and evolve! She's already practically glowing and its so good to see! What a beautiful song and music video! Much love!! xx
Rainbow Kitten Surprise FOREVER!!!
I'm so proud of the whole RKS band. Y'all are doing amazing and mean so much to all of us.
Not what I was expecting. I don't even know what I was expecting, but this surprised me in the best way possible. It's gorgeous, I love it
So beautiful! The grace and vulnerability in Ela's dancing... chills.
God damn, this one hits me in the feels so fucking hard.
Beautifully written, beautifully played. These harmonies are just insane, the bass voice "and I might be a coward" is perfect, contrasted by the quick high harmonies in the next verse. These lyrics just speak volumes about love when it doesn't work out.... Fear, scarcity, fighting, the raw gut-wrenching pain of separating... there's just so much to unpack here and it's such a powerful song. I think a lot of people will find a uniquely beautiful sense of therapy through this one. It might be my favorite, but that's hard to say. Such a beautiful look into a vulnerable heart. I can't stop listening. Thank yall so much.
Ela, you are so beautiful
yessss to all of this!!!! 🙌🙌💯💯
I just watched them live in Cape Town, as in 2 hours ago, and they are even better in person than the studio recordings. I lost my voice because I couldn't stop screaming. I lived my dream tonight
I saw them a couple months ago (amazing!) and before they started this one she had a beautiful message about it. Listen to this and heal. I think of that everytime I listen to it. It's so good. ❤️
‘If I’d have known you I’d have cloned you just to see you hurt’
*sobbing*
just noticed the way they looked at her at 0:50. magical.
Hearing this live… I cried, it was at bottle rock, I cried and sang every song loudly and didn’t hold back. My sister was with me, she watched me sing my heart out and for once I think she saw me genuinely happy ❤️🥺 my best friend told me to listen to them, I refused until Devil like me, I gave in and now I’m forever thankful my best friend forced me to listen to Devil like me, bc now I’m here knowing all the songs and seeing them live ❤️❤️❤️
Really looking forward to this video. This somg came out just in the right time, going through some hardships. Thanks for all the art RKS💜
Amazing how music can say exactly what you need to hear through troubled times. Hope whatever you find yourself in is brief and results in positive growth🙏
I past a hard few years lately (7) and I don’t need to tell you I was loosing fate that one day it will be better but now everything seems to aim in the right direction.
And the things is now every problem i meet seem like nothing compare to these years. What I want to say is if it’s hard tell you, the more I suffer the easiest it will be. Hope you understand i’m not English peace

I’ve been following RKS since the self titled album came out and i’ve seen them live 5 times. Watching everyone grow and find their style/sound has been the most amazing experience. I feel so seen by this band and i couldn’t be prouder to call myself a fan.
I can't dimention my feelings with the stimuli of the video, the lyrics and the art of its music. I'm tears. In this pride month, this video has meant liberation and essence. Thank u for continuing to create art (please come to Mexico) 🇲🇽💕
it’s a sad and beautiful thing to understand what this song is about.. thank u rks 💜
She’s so gorgeous 👸🥰
Only took 54 seconds for me to start crying, beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful band. I love you all so much, can't wait to see you in Asheville!
They absolutely slayed this entire music video. So happy to see Ela glowing:) I'm gonna have to design a poster now...
Ela, Bozzy, Charlie, Ethan, Jess.. such a smile on my face. Well done. Can’t even wait to see y’all in SLC & Boise. I love each of you dearly🌈💖
I’ll be at SLC as well!! 😻
Massively crushing on Ela she's so beautiful in this video!!
Thank you for changing my life and opening my eyes to new perspectives through your music ❤️ @rainbow kitten surprise
This band has gotten me through allot , now that I look back on those times , things are better now , RKS definitely played a role in that I love this band
I feel exactly the same way. Started listening to them at a low point and they have brought my kids and me together in a way I will always appreciate. Also, love to see their growth and they are teaching me about acceptance and diversity in a way I haven’t experienced before.
so proud of these babes, in the last 5 years I've seen them 4 times and every time the venue size is twice that of the last one and the music is only getting better!! This weekend in wilmington was incredible and I can't wait to see how big the crowd is next time around 🥰
It's like I've waitited my whole life for this
I came out as Trans over a year ago now, before I did I was an absolute mess, I discovered Rainbow Kitten Surprise in that time. You beautiful humans and your music that has a direct line to my heart and soul, helped me so much... It's crazy in the awesome way, what music can do... Everytime I have y'all playing these days, I smile so deeply. Thankyou... And come to Australia, you can all come crash at my place. Love Hannah
It's so universal, I love to have a through line to someone in a different country and identity such as yourself. So cool to hear your perspective on a great band, and great that it was so positive! Keep up the being awesome 👌
This is absolutely beautiful!! I saw you guys in my hometown of Oxford, MS back in 2018 and I can’t wait to see you in Birmingham. Your music gives me so much stability and peace of mind. I love you all and I’m so proud to see how far you’ve all come!!
Just saw them last night in Birmingham and I'm not sure if you were there but it was electric! ❤️
found them like 4 months ago and they're literally my favorite band at this point
Nothing tops this song
I found out about you about 5-6 years ago now and I just have to say I’m so dang proud of each and every one of you. I’ve loved being an unknown viewer to your beautiful journey. Keep inspiring.
I guess I just connected to not only the song but the evolution of the band as a whole and knowing that you have so much knowledge of growth. I’d love some guidance in the mess that I have found myself in
The creative mixture this group has is absolutely beautiful, it’s a taste of the old mixed with the new! Absolutely love the direction RKS is heading and can’t wait to see the future they bring ❤️
My oldest daughter just sent a text to me and said give RKS a listen. I did. I'm hooked.
So deliriously happy for you, Ela. So much love and admiration for your authenticity ♥️ My heroine.
awesome to see ela comfortable in herself i’m delighted for her
Ela is such a beautiful dancer omg!!
RKS the one band that I can show any of my friends that cover the spectrum of music and everyone loves them
I love this band so much. Come to Glasgow, Scotland please! X
Seeing RKS in concert is amazing... glad we got to see them in Memphis at The Orpheum
Hell yes. Ever since Shaky Knees where you blew me away, I've been doing the deep dive on all your jams. Need more haha
So wonderful. Ela is so beautiful!
I LOVED IT!!! Man i have been listening to your music now for almost a year and can’t get enough!!! LOVE YOU KEEP EM COMING !!! Love everybody and i hope everyone has a positive life changing day!!!
I just saw them Live and I have been frantically looking at the upcoming shows to see what will work for me to go again because it was such an enchanting experience. I absolutely love RKS.
There's no words for how beautifully constructed this is. Modern masterpiece
Amazing work guys! Greetings from Brazil
Going to hula next weekend and I’m going to miss you 🫶🏼 sending lot of love and hugs. 😊💕
Every song you guys put goes straight to my heart. Each one has brought me so much joy and healing and I can’t thank you enough. Much love ❤️
Come to Panama please 🥺❤️
This is so amazing, love to see trans and non-binary artists doing such amazing things, y’all make me so happy 🥰
That drum line is devastating. What a gorgeous emotional song and video
Your music makes me feel so full. Haven't felt that from music in years. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful!! Saw you live a few months ago and I love that you are all being your authentic selves now.
beautiful art, excited to watch this group of amazing souls evolve and keep creating as the years go on 🥰🥰
I just wanted to let y'all know that you mean the absolute world to me. Like, the entire, absolute world. 💕
Imagine having nothing but beautiful music in your entire discography!!! I freaking love RKS!!!!!
Just pure art. I love RSK so much for allllll of the reasons 🫶🏼
When music can bring you to tears, that's a good thing. Thanks for touching my heart & soul, & for the therapy, RKS. :-) One of my most favorite bands on the face of the planet.
Ive listened to Rks for over a year now and i absolutely love them and all their songs, they are and always will be my favorite band
They deliver every single time 🌈🐈💔
come to brazil, plssssss
We love you Ela!
Just as haunting live ❤️ 🌈
Listening to RKS is like a spiritual experience
Love the way the sound keeps evolving
Love that the room they are in is shaped like their logo with the stripe through it on the floor.
Spotify said I spent 6990 minutes listening to rainbow kitten surprise in one year. An guess what it still doesn't feel like enough every album every song is the best rks live everything about this band ❤️ I cannot express just how much everything these people showed showed me how to love myself thank you for everything
Absolute masterpiece 💜 thank you RKS 😊 I'll never forget the first time I heard Cocaine Jesus, not knowing what to expect, but I'm still in love to this day. Please keep making music and I'll be here to listen.
this was stunning, one of the most unique music videos I’ve ever seen. I’ve genuinely never connected to a band the way I’ve connected to these beautiful people. So excited to see them in new york 💛💛💛
Id kill for a version of this video that i could watch :(
I hope that someday I will see RKS live again. I attended a concert of theirs in Seattle around 3-4 years ago. I've been to lots of shows, but this was the most beautiful, loving group I've ever seen. The connection between the members, the smiles, hearing how happy and fond of one another they are in their voices as they played.... it was incredible.
Never have I ever cared so much about a music video. Full body chills. Y’all are stars now 🥲💗
They are so freaking amazing! I am even more in love with them since we saw them play in Santa Barbara! Will never get tired of them ❤️
Every single song is *chefs kiss*
RKS literally saved my life. Thank you.
Confused in the best kind of way. I sincerely hope this kind of musical ingenuity continues, man
I'm looking forward to seeing RKS in Nashville 12 /10/23 with my 11yr old grandson ! At 60, I still love the music I grew up on but also love finding new music ❤️ RKS ❤️ . My son saw you at Bonnaroo around 2003 .
I literally can not get enough 😪
this song is my spirituality holy fuck this is beautiful
Saw this song live a few weeks ago at the Santa Barbara Bowl and I’m happy to say it’s a memory that is going into my all time great live music hall of fame. Thanks 🙏🏼
I've listened to this song like everyday since it came out. My new fav 💘💘
I live in a rural town, so I generally don’t expect people here to listen to much beyond pop and country (which is great, don’t get me wrong, great stuff in both genres). Point is, rarely does anyone interest me with their music tastes. But the other day someone outside my apartment was blasting RKS’s Cocaine Jesus in their car, and I felt the immediate need to stick my head out my front door just to tell them how happy I was someone else also loved this band around here. They didn’t see or hear me, so I closed the door and started turning my kitchen light off and on to the beat of the song. I don’t know if they saw me, if they thought I was weird and too enthused, or if they didn’t care at all. Just mean to say, this is the kind of band, no matter where you are, that you get the sense other people listening to it must be Your people. Know what I mean? I wish my fellow residents (and RKS fans) well.
This song releases deep emotions out of my heart
The drummer for this band always looks like he's having such a blast, I love it.
RKS is without a doubt and not even debatable the best sounds ever created by human hands.
Love you guys’ knack for injecting personality into all your work, including this. Y’all rock. Thank you
everything y'all write i love, and this song is no different. thank you for the art you share with us
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
All the visual elements in this perfectly describes what you experience while to listen to RKS, absolutely beautiful ❤💫
"Thought about calling, but I deleted your number and we both know why" I'm crying
Love this you guys are so original. I love you do you. Great tune.
The songwriting is impeccable. 😭❤️🤩
Still watching this multiple times a day. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your spirits with us RKS. 💕
This band has been my rock since my freshman year in high school, I’m now a freshman college and they still manage to be played everyday without fail. Beautiful band, beautiful souls
