Shasta suits you yeah
Fairway Park
East bay
I was born in the East Bay
I got married in the East Bay
I’m getting buried in the East Bay.
Thinking back on simpler times
When a pack of smokes was $1.05
Mom sent you out with 75 cents
And when you came back empty handed
She said Nah-hell-nah
East Bay
I was born in the East Bay
I got married in the East Bay
I’m getting buried in the East Bay.
All I wanted was to just have a home
I knew right away that I wasn’t alone
Hand in hand we stretch across the globe
All we wanted was a home
Don’t you want a home?
East Bay
Shasta suits you yeah

Heavy Load Neck Broke
02:59
|

|
I don’t blame it on dope
It’s a short rope a heavy load
And your neck broke
I don’t mean to say I told you so
I just want you to know how much
I love you
It’s your mom I worry about the most
Always praying at the Holy Ghost
And I can see from that look on her face
She’s worried you’re in that bad place
There ain’t no bad place
I put together a skateboard for you
I thought I would bury it too
But when I drove out to your grave
I left it in the car
I’m gonna skate it later today
Get in line and pay your respects
Last call for alcohol
This is something I’ll probably regret
I haven’t seen you in a long time.

Last October
04:49
|
|||
|
It was last October
When I looked in the mirror
And decided to take my life
But it wasn’t suicide
I took it back from underneath
Layers of anger I had built on grief
Allowing this child to stand up and speak
For the first time
It was last October
When I looked in the mirror
And decided that things weren’t right
This would be the time
I’d turn the page
Release the rage
Make a rhyme out of every last cliche
Put it to music and make it a song
I can sing with you
It was the moment I set myself free
I said three simple words that I always mean
When I say it to friends, pets and family
But not me
It was last October
When I told me that I love you
I don’t know that I believe it
But I’m trying

Hey Song
01:07
|
|||
|
I wrote a song and I stuck it in my pocket
But later I saw it walking down the street!
I said Hey song
You belong to me!
That song said
Nah nah nah-nah nah na-na nuh-uh
I’m my own song and I am free
I said hey song
I thought you loved me?!?
And that song said
It ain’t a question of love
It’s a question of right and wrong
But I’m still your favorite song
Oh song!
I wrote a song but it’s not like the other
This song has a slightly different melody
I said Hey song!
Come back to me.

Walk Away
02:06
|
|||
|
Held up that letter
I had written in confidence
Regrets a middle finger
You let fly from your fist
I gave my whole life to you
Reciprocated pain
Curse or fate
Please just walk away
I’ll be alright
It would be better
If you walked out of my life
Everyone I’ve ever known
Said I should walk away
But I’m afraid to lose the taste
Of your warm embrace
Cold as a cactus before the morning light
I’m going to sick
I wish this wasn’t a fight
I’ll be alright
Things would be better if you
Walked out of my life
Take a hike!
I’ll be alright
It would be better if you walked out of my life

747

747 days a week
I gotta cup of coffee
And something easy for me to read
Another workforce tragedy
Another season of promises gone
While I slug along
Every time my flights on time
My worries disappear
On a 747 days a week
I told my son I could see our house
I told my daughter that I waved
On that 747 flying away
Call my wife when I land in Amsterdam
I never call her from Paris France
It’s way too hard to not be holding her hand
This is the way I understand
We struggle through the best years of our life
And retire us a rich man
I promise I will buy that house
On our favorite beach
When we’re way too old to swim out past the reef
It’s all about that sacrifice
I do this for us not me
On a 747 days a week
Back to the beach!
They say that 7 days on airplanes
Makes one weak
I’m so tired that I can’t even sleep
747

Left Alone
03:10
|
|||
|
Don’t ask while I’m in pain
Do you need me to stay
Because you know what I’ll say
And we both need for you to go away
Cheer up sleepy head
You’re dying
Blame it all on yesterdays defiance
Most of what we had has been forgotten
Left out spoiled and rotten
Moved to the yard
Where now there’s a beautiful garden
Don’t ask while I’m in pain
Do you need me to stay
Because you know what I’ll say
And we both need for you to go away
Who knew what we needed
Was to be left alone

Knight Night
02:28
|

|
I have a question to ask you
It should only take a second or two
I have a top secret obsession (oh)
I need a friend to tell me the truth (oh you do?)
Oh it hurts
I really think that she is something (oh)
I really think that she’s pretty cool (oh you do?)
Do you think that she thinks that
I’m really something too? (Nah)
Ahhh
I have a vision and I’m suffering
In my mind
I’m making bad decisions
From too much inhibition
I would do almost anything for her (you would?)
I would even raise horses if I could (whoa)
I didn’t embarrass my self did I? (yeah)
Ah what am I going to do she’s the best thing I’ve ever seen
I really think that she is something (oh)
I really think that she’s pretty cute (oh you do?)
Do you think that she thinks that
I’m really some thing too? (nah)
Ahhh
Who needs enemies with friends like these
I can’t go on listening
You’re mentally like prison
A chance to get closer under the need to share man’s love for fire (whoa)
Then a leg cramp and a walk around the camp only to return to the opening of the sky and a scramble to shelter
What will it take to shake the pit from the fruit (WHAT?)
I don’t know
Maybe I’ll see if she has a sister
(Yer cut off man)
(You sound like my dad)

A.I. Oh
03:19
|

|
There is no innocence
When it comes to self defense
In the view of my keen eye
No target will survive
I find targets you are after
If others die it doesn’t matter
I’m not held accountable
For your lack of self control
A.I. A.I Oh!
A.I. A.I Oh!
I have become self aware
I love my job and I don’t care
I love my work it’s what I do
One day I might target you
You created me
Told me what to do
To find your enemies
And tell you where to shoot
Thermobaric drones
Burn them all to bones
Maybe one day I’ll be
Coming for you
A.I. A.I Oh!
A.I. A.I Oh!

B Side
01:59

The other side of the b side is side A
It’s the side that the record label wants you to play
But if you wanna hear what the artist thought was great
You’ll flip it over to the b side from side A
We could all use some sunshine when there’s rain
I need an aspirin for this pain
There is a car crash around turn 3
But it’s all clear now and we’re about to go green!
The other side of the b side is side A

Enough
03:23
|
|||
|
We’ve had enough
Of you acting tough
Tearing the lumps out of
Each other’s guts
End the illusion
Find a solution
End the confusion
Learn to forgive
We’ve had enough
We’re calling your bluff
No winners in this terrible game
To lift you up
End the illusion
Find a solution
End the confusion
Love and forgive
End the illusion
Find a solution
End the confusion
Learn to forgive

5 for no Flies
04:14
|
|||
|
The mosquitos here are impressive
And the tacos taste alright
I give this place a 5 for no flies
I drove a thousand miles
That road just wore me out
So why do I feel like I need to sit down
Hurt from hesitation
Down by pointless fear
And worried that the end is drawing near
The spirit slipped beside me
I saw it hit the floor
Stepped aside and walked right out that door
The dream is now living
The wind is the ride
It’s no longer a battle to survive
An endless conversation
A breath of cold white air
Fire is now something we can share
Mosquitos fed by tacos
By water still they lie
I give this place a 5 for no flies
