about

This song was recorded together with Richard Allison (Dead/Beat, Dick Alley) and Dave Henderson from Florida for a short split album called The Good Mistake as they stayed in our apartment for a couple of days while travelling Europe. Richard plays harmonica and sings back vocals, Dave plays the rythm and I play guitar and sing.

lyrics

E B E E - Once every verse
A B E Ex2 - Multiple varying times

One day we will all be dead
but today the cheap wine we stole still spins through my head
as we run from the security guard
with the sunshine in our eyes and skate burns on our thighs
We're so happy just to get out of there alive!

Here's to this town and all its shitty basements
here's to the many bands that we thought would have a chance
High on the smell of sweat and the lack of oxygene

And I hope this old world drags us down
to the point of no return where there's no reason not to burn
our old spoiled comforts and start taking care of this Earth

And I hope that I'll never find a job
because being out of money, yea it teaches you a lot
about hunger, love and what matters and what not

My bike takes me in any direction I want
it's blue as the sea and it carries you and me
from wherever we ever want to leave

From this hill we can see the whole town
with the dark woods behind
and the bright lights downtown
and the summernight air in your hair smells just fine

If we make out now we'll wake up tomorrow
naked in this field
just wondering what to feel and how to get a bite to eat!
