Are you punching down? This couple of clowns cannot recall You're acting surprised I'm...Learn More

(Verse) Santa Rosa sleepwalk through the suburbs Farewell I can smell a fire in the vineyards While I sip & spit a smoky zinfandel Northern California hippie Christians So long Jesus, turn the wine back into water And pour a cup into the mini bong (Chorus) 3 weeks out west 3 weeks back home again My mother speaks I bite my tongue I feel so...Learn More

(Chorus) Everyone's sick of me rhyming I am a victim of timing Didn't anticipate climbing Petulant pendulum swings Floating and fussing through airspace Trying to keep up with their pace Thought that this cliff was a staircase Mama I wanna grow wings (Verse) Ill-equipped to navigate the nuance You assume I'm just a copy-cat Now I could fake the...Learn More
