lyrics

Now it's six A.M.,
I can get drunk again,
I think I found my place,
Amongst the human race.

Sometimes I remember the good old days,
When marijuana warped my brain,
Martha cooked the frozen fish,
And never judged me or made me wish,
For any lack of cigarettes,
And never a mention of nicorette,
I didn't have to be the one,
I'd never have to be her son,
There was a sympathy there that only strangers can share.

I still believe on Christmas eve,
The telephone will ring,
It will be me so drunk on wine,
High on street trash cocaine lines,
But she wont care cuz she's not there,
She's just the only friend that I could find,
Unconditionally kind,
And we both had the time.

Now it's six A.M.,
I can get drunk again,
And now I've found my place,
Here in the USA.

We know America's insane,
Became an alcoholic for the pain,
Looked into the mirror was ashamed,
I never remembered a yesterday,
But I'll never join them as a slave,
With a bullshit degree that never pays,
The world's an ashtray anyways,
We couldn't have had it another way,
Now I don't believe in nearly anything.

I don't believe on Christmas eve,
The telephone will ring,
It will be me so drunk on wine,
High on street trash cocaine lines,
But she wont care cuz she's not there,
Now she's in the grave not anywhere,
There's an experience there that we are all gonna share.

Mountain Movers (2017)

This album runs the gamut from the instrumental guitar freak-out of "I Could Really See Things" to the melodic pop perfection of "Vision Television. With only six songs on the record, each song except for the 19-second "Intro" have room to breathe and expand. The sound of the lead guitarist Kryssi Battalene's guitar is pure sonic bliss, and the rest of the band ably holds down the rhythm. kevcor73
