about

This song's about city folk vs. country folk. It's recorded during a battle with the band Laverkin at the Shred Shed

lyrics

Reiki my tai chi you make me cry rice milk. I chew nuts for you and I'm so modern I feel like I wouldn't walk ten feet from you.
If the building leaves a gap between the next, I feel the gasp and begin to come unclasped like a salt gun is aimed at you.
And that man's eating his breakfast through the window he's watching. Don't you cross the raging torrent to the right unless you want to feel a sting worse than BB's on a bird's skin, if you could do that back then.
He somehow puts the crystals in and he turns his fear into action. He says stay away, stay very far away.
Now back in the city and back in the future, they move your favorite coffee shop right next to fields of wild grass, and the gaps between are wider than the eyes set in that man's face, filled with weeds time and deer track, hobo camps and train tracks. The old city beneath the grass in an age of faith and waiting and empty minutes hanging in a growing ball of fear with no contrast to nature. Those people want to be alone with no shame and no respect. I say stay close, stay very close to me.
