The Coast

She said why don't I come home
And I should hate to lie but I don't
I said I don't mind this show
If solitude we'll find alone

It seems I keep bad company
Well who am I to disagree
Our days truck on yet I feel still
Nothing beyond ill

And so missed I, the most
Were the rains on the coast
And so missed I, the most
Were the wheels of a ghost

If I can't find the time, well so
And if I don't have to try then I won't

So from this point, it's plain to see
The remnants of my vagrancy
And we both know the match exists
It just isn't this

And so missed I, the most
Were the rains on the coast
And so missed I, the most
Were the wheels of a ghost

And now we cling so desperately
But only for the memories
Our days truck on yet I feel still
Nothing beyond ill

And so missed I, the most
Were the rains on the coast
And so missed I, the most
Were the wheels of a ghost

Drink Deep

Slippin' through the socket
With keys still in your pocket
Owe it to a southern brew
Well I ain't one to knock it

Don't let the beater school ya
Singin' Hallelujah
Says he is the real thing
But man I see straight through ya

Oh whoa, we drink deep and go crazy
Oh whoa, we drink deep and go crazy

Find ourselves in ruin
Doomed from our own doin'
Blame it on the shadow selves
Who do you think you're fooling?

Steppin' in real moody
With a hollowed sense of duty
Petrified and trapped inside
And he won't trounce around Trudy

Oh whoa, we drink deep and go crazy
Oh whoa, we drink deep and go crazy

We drink deep and think maybe
To drink deep is the safe way
We drink deep though what they say
Don't drink deep when the pain stays

Take my heart and wear my skin
Send me off and do it again
Take my heart and wear my skin
Send me off and do it again

Cardboard Cutouts

Still in the hole
We'll be tripping up the wax fantastic
Original
Authentic with the pristine plastic
Time for a show
Here's hoping we don't get our ass kicked
Or leave it alone
Well I won't, no I won't

Because the cardboard cutouts ain't got no soul
Oh oh, darling
They're just a-standing in for what we don't know
Oh oh, darling
Yeah you're always wondering about where we go
When we're falling
We're just cardboard cutouts in an empty home

Row after row
The right crowd gives the right ovation
But nobody show
That'll happen with the wrong location
I heard her so
Don't leave me with a designation
And feelin' so low
Well I won't, no I won't

Because the cardboard cutouts ain't got no soul
Oh oh, darling
They're just a-standing in for what we don't know
Oh oh, darling
Yeah you're always wondering about where we go
When we're falling
We're just cardboard cutouts in an empty home

Hermitage By-Product

I told a sinner she could stay for a while
She said she wanted to give it a shot
It's not hard to give it all away
When all is everything you got

Life is pretty easy when
Imagination is your best friend
You see yourself stuck in the ground
Looks like I win again

I told my brother he could have a drink
And a place to rest for the night
It's not hard to let your spirit drain
When you stop putting up a fight

Lonely roads and my only horse
Sick and blind in one eye
But you don't really need to see
When you're not afraid to die

Yeah life is pretty easy when
You've given up the fight
Just have a cup and stick around
I think we'll be all right
I think we'll be all right

Going To The Moon

Now who here likes Bugles?
You put 'em on your fingers
Yeah, you can put 'em on and eat 'em
When you're at the beach

Going to the moon - yeah

Now who here likes to whistle?
You know I think it's overrated
Of course you should know I can't
So perhaps that opinion is a bit biased

Going to the moon - yeah
Going to the moon

Now girl you look so fine
I see you kind of like me
Well maybe we could get together
And make sweet romance
Well we can't cause I'm

Going to the moon - yeah
Going to the moon - yeah
Going to the moon - okay

Quicksand

With the tricks of the trade, you believe we get paid
Taking months trying to hit a new ocean
If I can suffice with this animal life
I can live to avoid the commotion

From behind someone say, "We best turn this way"
Charlie think that he got an idea
We look for the girls with the Croquignole curls
Yeah I bet that they can't wait to see ya

Oh oh, do we seem to shrink as we hit the brink, and-a
Oh oh, Charlie I think that I'm starting to sink, and-a
Oh oh, well I look around but he spoke not a sound, and-a
Oh oh, homeboy's gone and I'm left to drown

Smack in the back with my right hand
The left one'll grab for controllin'
One foot is laid down on dry land
The other one caught up in quicksand

Man can we get with the program
We all bogged down in a still stand
While one leg bounce to a slow jam
The other one's caught up in quicksand

We tore away, found a post we could stay
Dropped down to escape the confusion
Who should we see in the same company
Charlie trying to forgive the intrusion

Oh oh, as fate would allow we crept through the crowd, and-a
Oh oh, this motherfucker won't get away now

Smack in the back with my right hand
The left one'll grab for controllin'
One foot is laid down on dry land
The other one's caught up in quicksand

Man can we get with the program
We all bogged down in a still stand
While one leg bounce to a slow jam
The other one's caught up in quicksand

Smack in the back with my right hand
The left one'll grab for controllin'
One foot is laid down on dry land
The other one caught up in quicksand

Man can we get with the program
We all bogged down in a still stand
While one leg bounce to a slow jam
The other one's caught up in quicksand

Smack in the back with my right hand
The left one'll grab for controllin'
One foot is laid down on dry land
The other one caught up in quicksand

Charlie can we get with the program
Sinking real low in a still stand
Can anyone bounce to a slow jam
Are we all caught up in quicksand

Oreo Dessert

Well you can look the part and make it work
Play the game and earn your perks
Invest in yourself all you can spend
You still wind up short in the end

Yeah you can look real cool and act aloof
To claim your place among the youth
Set the trends and stay alert
But you'll never be as hip as Oreo dessert

If you ain't got it
I don't want it
If you ain't tried it
Don't try to hide it

Now you can dress yourself up to the nines
Make everybody say, "Well don't you look fine"
Sport your shades and press your shirt
But you'll never look as good as Oreo dessert

Yeah you can place the blame on someone else
So everybody gotta change except yourself
But with all the effort you can exert
It don't mean a thing without Oreo dessert

If you ain't got it
I don't want it
If you ain't tried it
Don't try to hide it

You can try but you just
Can't beat that cookie crust
Nothing will ever please
As well as cream cheese
Nice try but you know that it'll
Pale next to the pudding middle
You'll fail, flounder and you'll flop
Against the whipped cream on top

Yeah you'll get smacked up and you be left hurt
Then you get beat down, no you can't divert
Try what you will, you know it won't work
Cause ain't nobody gonna fuck with Oreo dessert
Its ability to dismantle is overt
It'll shatter your brain and disconcert
You're left laying in tatters in the dirt
But there ain't no shame in losing to Oreo dessert

Shapes

All of the shapes
All of the shapes I can't define
It's slowing down
It's to have any breath but mine

It's going on
And it's been happening way too long
Pip in poultry
Just nowhere anyone could see

I'm looking up
Muddied up voices are looking in
They cry to get up
But nobody else is diving in

I guess you were right
I was just passing through my time
This tank's running full
And so all that's visible

I guess you were right
I was just passing through my time
This tank's running full
And so all that's visible

All of the shapes
All of the shapes I can't define
It's slowing down
It's to have any breath but mine

Sona Rock

Sona rock like you can't hop to it
Slow it down like a played out tune, oh no
Let's see if I can't find it again

Who is the man makes the rhymes go bleaker
Shake it up and down, make you like a soul seeker?
Make it out on time if you're fine with lyin'
Then take you out the back just to blow your mind
Maskin' out my skin tones, slippin' it on the fly by
Stickin' em up the main pass, have to ask, cause I
Don't even try to mind and fake being kind
Cause all I really care about is they dig mine
While you're sittin' on a bus pass trying to make it back
Praying to your gods that you're on the right track
No one's got a loan phone, hope you get your own
Cause if you never try then you'll never make it home
Who is the man who got you in payola
Living the phenomenon of losing all control uh?
Buildin' em on the back track for the second act
Then I'm hopping up along and then I think I'm comin' back

Sona rock like you can't hop to it
Slow it down like a played out tune, oh no
Let's see if I can't find it again

Now there ain't no tellin' where the cold call's dwellin'
But if you pick it up then they'll keep on sellin'
It's a long, long time we been makin' it on our own
Always feeding from the trough because we're getting to the bone
If you're keepin' on the post, then you're peepin' on the goal, right?
Buggin' you about the most, and you be like "I know, right?"
Who's getting washed when you picture pouring rain
And these red toothed grins always yanking on your chain
This new frame of mind that has passed the time
Just ain't like it was since it we took it online
A descript tip should assist it seems
But the internet never can connect in dreams
You meet, seat, cheat, then repeat
Distrust if you must, just feign till complete
A wound unsealed can't be good for your health
But if the stitches won't heal, you can suture self

Sona rock like you can't hop to it
Slow it down like a played out tune, oh no
Let's see if I can't find it again

I ain't no bitch anymore
I can't believe what I fell for
So if it's time to collide then I'm all ready
And if you feel what I mean
You might not believe what you've seen but
Clock's out, there's no more veneer of hiding, crying
I won't deny it anymore

Sona rock like you can't hop to it
Slow it down like a played out tune, oh no
Let's see if I can't find it again

Nancy Goes To Rio

My baby's on a one way track
She can't find her way back
But if she calls to me
She is crazy as can be

My baby can't be found
Woke up in a hole in the ground
Surrounded by dim objects
Rotting corpses, and she is next

Oh lay low, shot down
Oh lay low, shot down
Feel the heat go drown
When that girl comes around

Knocked down with a numbing pain
Somebody put a chip in her brain
She insists that she knows
Which is crazy, I suppose

Oh lay low, shot down
Oh lay low, shot down
Feel the heat go drown
When that girl comes around

My baby's got a rendezvous
The torches gonna be there too
When she hits those lights to see
They get lit up, and so does she

She's trippin' bout where we've been
Says we're never coming back again
Cause next time they'll be after me
Call me crazy, but I agree

Oh lay low, shot down
Oh lay low, shot down
Feel the heat go drown
When that girl comes around

Round to see oh
Back to Rio
Oh for real
Fuckin' Rio
