Arvada and Die

Waiting for night so we can speed down Wadsworth.
Clocking out, so we can take these shirts off.
I never looked all that great in green anyway,
Selling my soul for the bills I gotta pay!
I don’t know how long I’m gonna make it.
Agreeing with folks has allowed me to fake it.
Where do I buy my Harley?
Where can I dump the bodies?
Where can a guy get a drink?
Drunk at night in Arvada, everybody sinks
Sharing my space with his girlfriend and her grandson.
Rethinking that I should have moved in to Littleton.
We sleep in our trucks and take fifths to keep our blood warm.
Talking on shifts and waiting for a band to form.
I don’t know how long I’m gonna make it.
Agreeing with folks has allowed me to fake it.
Where do I buy my Harley?
Where can I dump the bodies?
Where can a guy get a drink?
Drunk at night in Arvada, everybody sinks
Where do I buy my Harley? FREEDOM!
Where can I dump the bodies? RALSTON!
Where can a guy get a drink? EVERYWHERE!
Drunk at night in Arvada, everybody sinks
I don’t know how long i’m gonna make it.
Agreeing with folks has allowed me to fake it.

The Neighbors

The neighbors say
“picking pieces up today.”
Make sure you set yourself up for noon,
things are closed near by, and I know I am too.
The neighbors say
"Give in to what you can’t change."
The ash falls down, and creates a hill,
Give a place to aim, while breathing in the chill.
Charlie tells us tales to help me keep my heads on right.
This seems like a great way to pass the time.
The neighbors say,
"Let’s work all night, sleep all day."
She parked the wrong way, must be a sign
that forced us to leave, now I can not rewind.
Charlie tells us tales to help me keep my heads on right.
This seems like a great way to pass the time.
Jeffrey sings us songs to help me ease my tired mind.

Cold Chicago Winters
03:34

You’re making headstones.
You’re making cash, in hand.
But the cold winter months,
Are much more than I can stand.
Sleep in the basement.
On a mattress on the floor.
No access to communication,
We don’t talk anymore.
I have to go away,
Looks like you’re planning to stay.
Not today.
I have to go away,
Looks like you’re planning to stay.
Not today.
You’re making headstones.
You gig almost every night.
But the cold winter months,
Forced me to cancel my flight.
I searched the wire.
You are the hardest guy to find.
I braved the Chicago winter,
Lost in the Market in my Mind.
I have to go away,
Seems you are planning to stay.
Not today.
I have to go away,
Looks like you’re planning to stay.
Not today.
Sleep in the basement.
On a mattress on the floor.
I don’t wanna anymore.
I have to go away,
Looks like you’re planning to stay.
Not today.
I have to go away,
Looks like you’re planning to stay.
Not today.

We Were Once Waitstaff

Just like, a bee
Move around the floor with grace and purpose.
Questioning, memory
Customer is always right, but i’m not sorry.
We were once waitstaff
We were all just wasting our time
We were once waitstaff
But now I'm moving on
Green shirts, black pants
Create an army full of bitters and distractions.
Cold air, hot stoves
A grease fire makes our nights glow brightly.
We were once waitstaff
We were all just wasting our time
We were once waitstaff
But now I'm moving on
I was here to breath the air so fresh.
I was here to try to clear my head.
We were once waitstaff
We were all just wasting our time
We were once waitstaff
But now I'm moving on
We were once waitstaff
We were all just wasting our time
We were once waitstaff
But now I'm moving on
