- Baltic Sea
Weather systems, Baltic Sea
Distant foghorns and some milky tea
Amber scattered on the shores
Washed up from ancient forest floors
The earth pulls softly at my skin
Beckoning me home again
No more beaches or old guitars
- Devushka from Vladivostok
A rainy night in June
Girl from Vladivostok's in her room
She's layin' on the bed,
Chatting on her laptop with her friends
And through the open window there's a breeze
And fog rollin' off the sea
Mercury and starfish in the bay,
- Fire
I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:
Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned
- Foolin' Myself
Эх, бытовуха. А кому сейчас легко... Нет, Дэвид, не убирай гитару в шкаф - она тебе ещё пригодится))
Winter's here again
I'm full of fear again
The money's running out
And Christmas is coming soon
I sold my amp again
- Girl From Vladivostok
A rainy night in June
Girl from Vladivostok’s in her room
She’s layin’ on the bed
Chatting on her laptop with her friends
And through the open window
There’s a breeze
And fog rollin’ off the sea
- Inland Empire Freeways
Koreatown 1983
Summer morning sitting on the sidewalk with his friend
Concrete cool under his legs
Rolling clove cigarettes out of butts he'd been saving
Is he going home again?
He's never going home again
No no no no
- Morning Sun
I never liked the morning sun
It shines a light on all the damage that I've done
The happy people waking up to start their day
Birds singing in the trees everything's OK
But nothing's right for me
I ain't been to sleep in almost 3 days
I never liked the morning sun
- Palm Springs
Isabel says that
She don't need diamond rings
No house in the hills
No weekends in Palm Springs
She just wants a guy who'll
Love her and won't beat her all the time
Is that too much to ask?
- Richer Man
They're downsizing John's department
His hours got cut
But he does the best he can
And who's the richer man?
He picked up some work on Tuesdays
Mowing the lawns at a high school in Arlington
And who's the richer man?
- Teenage Summer Days
Down on Pico and Fedora
Back in 1983
All the cholos on the corner
Hid their pistols in the trees
El Funny Clown lived off of Sunset
On a street called Benton Way
There were blood satins on the sidewalk
