lyrics

We got science on the TV they say Jesus Christ is dead for good
we got new age theologians they say Jesus Christ ain't coming
but he could
I've been trying hard to reach you, honey
I just don't know where the hell else to look

All the cabinets are empty and I don't pay the bills no mind
all the cabinets are empty and the traffic lights flicker in the night
I think about you always it's a monumental waste of time

I packed a duffel bag with toothpaste and a nap sack with origami cranes
I got my dark sunglasses and an Appalachian mountain range
You said I need to accessorize, baby
I think you just want someone to blame

Come on outside everybody's trying
come on outside everybody's trying so hard
you can take it all for granted baby I don't give a damn no more

I see waves of sunlight pouring off the hot concrete
I see waves of sunlight and smoke clouds at the end of market street
don't tell me what the score is, I'd much rather never even see

I think about you always my mother says it's because you look like me

Instrumental Rand R that has it's heart in the right place. Very few bands of late in this garagey type as opposed to metal/lounge/indie. 60s references and twang krotix
