Felony Flats
Anya Marina Lyrics
Southeast of the tracks
Left alone
Bars on the windows and doors
We used to call this home
Felony flats
Yes, I know where I'm at
I could tell by your face
I was late
You better know where you're at
Know where you're going to
Felony flats
I can't believe that I'm back
Won't forget where I'm coming from
'Cause it took all that I could bet
To get away and just forget felony flats
Here in felony flats
You're always watching your back
Know where you're going to
Felony flats
I can't believe that I'm back
I won't forget where I'm coming from
'Cause it took all that I could bet
To get away and just forget
Yeah, it was all that I could do
To get away from me and you, felony flats
It's a long way to get back home
It's a long, long way to get back home
Felony flats
Can't erase
(Felony flats)
From your veins
(Felony flats)
You can't begin until you can face
What's at your back
What's at your back?
Felony Flats
Felony flats, come on
Felony flats, come on
Come on and get it
Come on and get it
Come on and get it
'Cause it took all that I could bet
To get away and just forget
Yeah, it was all that I could do
To get away from me and you
Yeah, it took all that I could bet
To get away and just forget
Felony flats

Anya Marina is a singer-songwriter and radio disc jockey based in San Diego, Calif. Her music has been featured on the ABC television drama Grey's Anatomy (and its second soundtrack) and on shows such as MTV's The Real World. She is also track 6 on New Moon soundtrack. Anya is a former deejay on KBZT (FM94/9) in San Diego.
Anya was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., and grew up in the Silicon Valley area of California as a capricious child with Russian-Agnostic/Irish-Catholic Read Full BioAnya Marina is a singer-songwriter and radio disc jockey based in San Diego, Calif.

Anya is a former deejay on KBZT (FM94/9) in San Diego.
Anya was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., and grew up in the Silicon Valley area of California as a capricious child with Russian-Agnostic/Irish-Catholic professor parents (psychology and russian literature/math) and a younger sister. After finishing high school, Anya moved to Los Angeles as an aspiring actress. With stints in the British American Drama Academy (taught by Richard Dreyfuss, Marsha Mason, Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach) and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, Anya has also acted in television and film (in 2001, she starred in the feature film, 100 Girls). She eventually moved back home to earn a college degree in English and writing at Santa Clara University. She continued to struggle as an artist -- working in acting, musical theatre, music, improv and comedy -- but eventually found a job as a radio DJ on KSCU, Santa Clara University's college station.
After graduating, Anya took a radio station job in San Diego with Mike Halloran at XHRM-FM (92.5). After the station was bought out by another corporation, Halloran hired Anya at Y107 in Los Angeles before they both moved to Premium Radio 92/1 in San Diego's North County. After leaving that station, both disc jockeys landed at FM94/9.
It was in San Diego that Anya played her first open mic night and began to write her own songs. She quickly developed a live stage act using what she learned as an actress, comic and impressionist. Her recorded debut was a five-song EP called Exercises in Racketeering, which eventually led to a full-length album, Miss Halfway, which was released in early 2005. Anya subsequently opened for such artists as Jason Mraz and Rhett Miller. She was named one of the "Best Unsigned" acts by San Diego CityBeat.
The songs on Miss Halfway talk about her upbringing, ex-boyfriends and all the after-effects. Anya's album was also produced by Scott Russo, the frontman for rockers Unwritten Law, along with Peter King from The Surfers. The record eventually earned a San Diego Music Award for Best Recording. The title track also landed on Grey's Anatomy and was featured as the fifth song on the second Grey's Anatomy (soundtrack) disc along with The Fray, KT Tunstall, Gomez and Snow Patrol.
The internet radio station KGRL featured her as their Flower-Powered Artist for March of 2007. The feature includes an exclusive interview, CD Review of Miss Halfway, and an on-demand audio stream of an unreleased Anya Marina track titled "Try It And Like It."

What a great song. Jeezus, I had no idea she could do something on this level. The guitar work on this is original and brilliant as well. One of my favorite jams on all of YouTube. So Beatle-y!
