Get out of here with that metronome bullshit Cracked out Cracked out and tired The heater clicks on and the movement of the air feels good on my skin Next to and over the dog under a weighted blanket Keep writing I guess anybody could do this Moon River Riding along as one And then smooth voice Smooth butt And smooth skin And smooth hair A neighbor I am your neighbor The moon and the river riding along as one I am your neighbor Still oceaning over and then That's me Time to post I guess Still in bed It's not subtle Oh God Another day Another day

about

A flow from harsh hypnotic noise to grooving dance punk and up and back again and again. I wish I could play this shit live with a full band cause it slaps - maybe someday... I tried to capture that California space desert vibe with some psychedelic impressionism.
