Jets to Brazil
Jets to Brazil was an American rock band. It was founded by Blake Schwarzenbach, former frontman of Jawbreaker, who found himself in Brooklyn, New York, after Jawbreaker disbanded. There he united with friend Jeremy Chatelain (who is not to be confused with the French singer of the same name); the two had met at the final Jawbreaker show, Chatelain himself having emerged from the break-up of Handsome.
Together they began working on four-track recordings aided by drum machines until they asked Chris Daly Read Full BioJets to Brazil was an American rock band.

Together they began working on four-track recordings aided by drum machines until they asked Chris Daly, previously the drummer for Texas Is the Reason, to join them. Daly created the name "Jets to Brazil" (perhaps taken from a poster seen in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's), and the band joined Jade Tree Records in 1997.
It was under Jade Tree that they recorded their first (and, following the successes of their previous bands, highly anticipated) album, Orange Rhyming Dictionary. Following its eventual success they went on to release Four Cornered Night, which introduced the fourth member of the band: former Van Pelt guitarist, Brian Maryansky. In 2002, Jets to Brazil launched their third — and what was to be final — album, Perfecting Loneliness. By 2003 the band had broken up, for unspecified reasons.

Jets to Brazil Lyrics
candle is blue could see me through but I'm color blind
they tell me it's blue and I'm a believer that's why I'm blind
live on the freeway listen to signs and we drive by feel
be a believer believe everything you'll be right
half the time
candle is waxing takes my apartment I bask in its magic
all of the firefighters put out my fires took all my matches
staying up later waking up old and I'm leaving her never
ordering in all friends and lovers and we're making our weather with a lone light bulb
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting, so I'm demolished - that's the way
some make exhaustion a mode of expression and that's their way
I'm just a question knowing my answer I hope I'm wrong
but I know the answer it's four in the morning I'm right again and I'm chinatown
now in a hurry, rubbing up urgent to get home to dot
was my missed mistress messed up my mattress I missed the catch
last of the pitchers catfish done hunting harry lundt
most of the killers never get famous and it's hard on everyone
I'm tired of fighting

Candle is blue, could see me through, I'm color blind
They tell me it's blue, I'm a believer, that's why I'm blind
Live on the freeway, listen to signs and we drive by feel
Be a believer, believe everything, you'll be right half the time
Candle is waxing, takes my apartment, I bask in its magic
All of the firefighters put out my fires, took all my matches
Staying up later, waking up old and I'm leaving her never
Ordering in, all friends and lovers and we're making our weather with a lone light bulb
I'm tired of fighting, so I'm demolished - that's the way
Some make exhaustion a mode of expression and that's their way
I'm just a question knowing my answer, I hope I'm wrong
I know the answer, it's four in the morning, I'm right again, I'm Chinatown
Now in a hurry, rubbing up urgent to get home to dot
Was my missed mistress, messed up my mattress, I missed the catch
Last of the pitchers, catfish done hunting, Harry Lundt
Most of the killers never get famous and it's hard on everyone
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting

Check out Jawbreaker. The lead singer's band before Jets to Brazil.
Kenny Nonymous
This song is perfect. Not a bad note, quality lyrics and arrangement, superior mix/layering of all that is going on here. I love the snare sound. As fresh now as when it came out in 1998.
Avery Walton
Never understood why jets never blew up! Every song is just the best you could ever imagine!

@Dan Brown but jet fuel can't melt steel beams
Dan Brown
Sometimes jets blow up because of all that fuel.
