money doesn't matter but it always does money doesn't have emotions so many lovers are on the left coast singing I tried to get out I wish that my mind was the ocean I'd ride out the ebb and flow I'd fill it up with plastic and I'd signal smoke nobody for miles so many lovers are on the left coast singing I tried to get out you start to repel and then you look around a mind is not matter the thought of heaven above brings you a smile and a laugh but you stick to the land and sea so many lovers are on the left cost singing I tried to get out

Seven Days 03:05
seven days out to sea twenty years it seemed to me the sun is gone, no alibi wasting time as time goes by moonlight on a rolling sea twenty years it seemed to me crumbled cliffs and iodine white caps turn the sands of time run old Molly run I have taken myself for a walk out in the sun

you live in a house; eating off a plate spill food on the floor; preacher will tell you straight you were tempted, fell, broke yourself down in every way you can't feel anything clear, too much change in the atmosphere government doublethink is shifting your ideals you are running in circles from the monkey that's on your back American golden kid- you're rising like the sea fueling up your jets, conquering the source of being you streamlined the winding path to be successful feed the machine and make your destination accessible you bathe in the river of death with ripples made of fire you're ripping off your friends, working your ass off to streamline the winding path to be successful feed the machine to make your destination accessible virtual spheres, mimicking time start to feel weird, calm down your mind let's pretend like you never had that thought fly on a jet, hop on a train plug on in, there's no one to blame nothing you can do will make it all disappear let it all change you down to your deepest fears living this life, love in your eyes pools of black fail your sweet disguise no fear of death, it's just a tactful little lie think you can create an empty afterlife coming together, living as one that's not as fun as what's about to come settle your score and find a better way to fall asleep feed the machine and make your location accessible American golden kid- you're rising like the sea fueling up your jets, conquering the source of being you streamlined the winding path to be successful feed the machine and make your destination accessible you bathe in the river of death with ripples made of fire you're ripping off your friends, working your ass off to streamline the winding path to be successful feed the machine to make your destination accessible

I've got a stack of receipts I can't tie with a rubber band I've got a stack of receipts I can't tie with a rubber band I've got a Bible I can't touch with my right hand I was feeling lonely when we stayed at the Motel 6 I was feeling lonely when we stayed at the Motel 6 You whispered in my ear, sounded like Stevie Nicks Lost eyed reptilian momma- shed a layer on me you had your first born baptized in the fire water and the CPS, they got the best of you, babe you are a rambler, you are a gambler, and you are a night owl you are a rambler, you are a gambler, and you are a night owl hide in the cottage, I know that it will straighten you out somehow you're not turning tricks, you're no mail order bride but when you say you stay clean I know that you're lying early in the morning you're on the Puget Sound flight Lost eyed reptilian momma- shed a layer on me you had your first born baptized in the fire water and the CPS, they got the best of you, babe you are a rambler, you are a gambler, and you are a night owl you are a rambler, you are a gambler, and you are a night owl hide in the cottage, I know that it will straighten you out somehow

Dora 03:00
Dora stood out upon the river bank talking to the Devil and the parasites it aint been the same since 2008 she turned the cold ground into a strobe light hey Ms. Dora I see you let the fear go as you speed thru the city forget about your past life, look at all the pretty lights streaming thru the weeping willow tree chasing down a meadowlark, sipping on honey I'll meet you in a while on the banks downstream she drank some beer, drank some rye, dipped her bucket in the clear blue sky in the valley we watched the spring rain fall Dora saw clear to the bottom of Hell She lost her child, lost her home, a demon stole the sun and now it's all gone Dora wanders thru the town all alone I love her and so does everyone hey Ms. Dora I see you let the fear go as you speed thru the city forget about your past life, look at all the pretty lights streaming thru the weeping willow tree chasing down a meadowlark, sipping on honey I'll meet you in a while on the banks downstream
