Biography:
Dr. Manhattan is a "rock" band from Wauconda Illinois. The band’s ever-shifting backstory- which depends on who you ask and when you ask it- juxtaposes itself naturally with their music, which is, truly, indefinable and has the overwhelming sense of perpetually evolving as it is played, both on and off the stage. The idea that it is, as Vombrack says, everything and nothing at the same time is showcased rather brilliantly on the band’s self-titled debut album (3/11/08)

Verse 1:
Cm
There's a graceful dance above me.
G#
From the sun reflecting in.

Off the cars that pass below.
A#

Cm
And the dance moves
G#
They remind me of the times that I've walked in

To a room and left with nothing
A#
Except the fear to walk back in.
