about

Recorded in my bedroom November and December of 2016, except drums, recorded at Javi's house October 2016.

lyrics

stretched this far
the body can't quite keep up
though soul wants to give you love
and mama loves you
she does, she does
mama loves you

now run along and look for seed
the gold you found was not my type
and keep your ass in my sight
tonight
we'll have a play

i've been to the sea and caressed the waves, it was my favorite place
i've seen the sun tear down that sky, it stole my breath away

the good ain't so far away, there's still some place
where you might feel the color in your skin
and it keeps so warm, it's like i'm always holding you
the days are long and the clouds are there for shade, not for rain
there's still some place

the baby's off in airy dreams
i wonder if he dreams of light
I'll tell another one tonight
of Alabama skies
fireworks, blazing fireworks in July
the baby's off in biting sleep
i wonder if he sees the signs
i'll tell another one tonight
i'll sing until he rises
the baby needs his guide

i've seen god's eyes turn to molten rock, i've seen the wrath of god
i've seen most life, it's a huffing bull in a glass case in a red light district

the good ain't so far away, there's still some place
where the mothers and their carriages hold real babies
and there's more out there to munch and sip on
than that man and his machine stacking bars of protein
where a pink piñata's not a frozen starfish
caught on a piece of wire, swirling in a gyre
where that old green giant's not the can of green beans
that we set out at the last thanksgiving

by our rules, you must believe
that we haven't seen the best of it, we haven't seen a thing
i still see those blue skies in your eyes.
