Karate Days

Here the keys, get behind the wheel
Gotta go, don't know how we’ll feel
Hear the tunes, note by note beside them
Gigs at ten, not to rush excitement
These days are the ones they're writing
About the times that you were all up here
So rare to find so many folks enlightened
Let’s grab a beer and take it off from here
Trying to think, it’s been a year or two
Since all those karate days we knew
Ever since we got some rest, calmed the chaos to be our best
And here we are still on our feet, still fucked up delightedly

Vanishing Point
03:16
|

Blacktop reaching out into the night
Now we're taking flight
Can't stop, passed the point of no return
So let the motor burn
If we don't survive this armageddon drive
At least we'll feel alive to the bitter end
Till then, turn up the radio
I will carry the fire
If you light the fuse
We can take it right into
The vanishing point
Ghost towns dark along the interstate
And silent as the grave
Shut down, boarding up the promised land
You better take my hand
Leave the world behind
Out of sight, out of mind
Nothing left to find but the road ahead
They said we wouldn't even get this far

Waiting
04:48
|
|||
There’s a time at night
When the rain starts to fall
And it feels like home
Before it all
But I’m fading fast
Just put in between
So rarely heard
And never seen
Is it all pretend
You say it’s not real
That doesn’t change
How it all feels
Who’d have ever thought
That we’d end up here
Are we here
Still it’s hard to take
How some get set free
Why can’t I be set free
How long
So long
Too long
I’ve been stuck here waiting
And I
Always tried
To abide
But I’ll stay here waiting
How’s it supposed to be
Do you even know yourself
Something I can’t see
But who needs a sense of self
Maybe hide your glee
Til you know, it’s too late
You’re too late
We’re too late
How long
So long
Too long
I’ve been stuck here waiting
And I
Always tried
Do or die
But I’ll stay here waiting

Lil Crusty
02:54
|

I was driving back home
Another lonely Saturday night
Sitting on a corner
Trying to catch another lover’s eye
Searching all night
For some way to fill my pain inside
Then into my window
The answer arrived
The bright warm lights
Of Lil Crusty’s chocolate eclair pie
And I don’t need no lover
I don’t need no friends
Cause flower comes from soil
And soil never ends
Sugar never leaves
It always stays Sweets
So I’ll take my seat and I will eat
What’s that? Another? Yes
The operator can’t hold me
Fortune teller can’t scold me
My nutritionist told me
That it’s all gonna roll me
Just one little bite to get me through the night
And I will be alright long as Lil Crusty love me
I took my seat
Lil Crusty smiles up from my plate
And as soon as he’s gone
Another comes to take his place
He’s chocolate on the outside
Creamy on the inside
A rush to my blood when he gets in my mouth
So I’m gonna keep eating til I can go to sleep
Cause crying’s easy when you’re too full to feel
My mama said
My papa said
My doctor said
They all have said
You’re gonna die
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
You’re gonna die
You're gonna die
You're gonna die
Let's eat some pie
You're gonna die
But I will be alright long as Lil Crusty loves me

Better Days
04:08
|
|||
Once in while, I’d come around your door
Just to poke my head in and see how you were
For as long as I remember you’ve been strolling through my mind
Walking by and beating those big eyes
Morning starts, you’re my thought, first thing in my head
As the day goes by I start to figure why
Never needed anyone, never gave a chance
Maybe soon we could have that dance
Better days ahead, somewhere up the road
Who knows if it’s true, who knows where it goes
But if we found a way, where all would be okay
Cause tomorrow is another day, with no idea of what could play
Never know what could lie ahead
Facts and foes may certainly pose some problems to the plan
But wishful thoughts are bought right down the lane
Just can’t help but wonder, why not carry on
May as well just stay up till the dawn
