lyrics

I shrug my shoulders at the new wave.
Drink a little in the day.
kick my feet up on a long chaise
sleep off everything I can.

Think I wound up in the wrong place
When I stole home base.
I never think about the long game
When I need a place to land.

It's all right to be bad sometimes
To get a little peace of mind.

There's a lightning on the water front.
A fire in the west.
And you, somewhere, I guess.

I take up arms against the new age,
smoke a little for the taste.
I only travel at my own pace,
stumbling down the barrio.

I’m always wearing such a long face.
Drifting out to space.
While Serpent charmers in a failed state
are playing on the radio.

It's all right to be bad sometimes
To get a little peace of mind.

There's a black out in the gallery.
A murmur in my chest.
And you, and I, I guess.
