I can't go surfing on a cow As hard as I may try I can't go surfing in the soybeans Because they'll die I wanna ride a wave but I'm in the middle of cornfields & it's bummin me out I just wanna see how it feels I can't go surfing on a cow As hard as I may try I can't go surfing in the soybeans Because they'll die If I ride over them They'll get squished & be goners & besides, I don't have a cent To repay the fucking farmers I can't go surfing on a cow As hard as I may try I can't go surfing in the soybeans Because they'll die I can't go surfing on a cow As hard as I may try It won't support me in the water & then I'll die

Smoking 03:49
I'm quitting God help me Not sleeping I'm quitting!

I'm exhausted Legs sore Walking fields Walking fields Now the shoreline Unreachable Soggy fields Lower yields -----I'm exhausted Muddy riptide Scratched my board Pointy pebbles Dirty pebbles What a buzzkill Sun was high enough Then they scratched her I got a sunburn -----I'm exhausted Take me surfing In a dream Even though I'll wake up Even though I'll wake up I'll be crying More than likely Seeing all those palm trees And the way you're glowing Let's go surfing Right here locally Let's go surfing Just a pillow & you & me

Ground 03:00
It's amazing how much ground you can easily make When your gaze is down, toetips anchor ground Why would you fixate on all the faraway waves When you're close to one? Melt into the sun I wish it were sunny out He never comes around I wish it were sunny out So I could see the ground I feel crazy, looking out at this Grayscale sky It will harm me, it'll open & swallow me I want to throw things at it & break the spell That it's cast on me & the surfers beside me I wish it were sunny out He never comes around I wish it were sunny out So I could feel the ground

Song 4 Speed 04:13
I know that you just want to Help me get shit done But it's so hard To keep this up with you You want to trick me into Thinking that there's a flaw In my attention span That's where you swoop in I think that you should spend some time Away from me Write a paper for my neighbor friend She could use a hand You need somebody to Consume you Or you'll face impeding doom I'm done giving my cash to you I can't keep abusing you

I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I can't remember the last time I cried I can't remember the last time it was sunny outside I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I can't remember the last time I smiled I can't remember what it was like to be a child I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I wanna go outside But it would remind me of my friend who died I really miss him I wanna go outside But he's out there I won't go

Thanks to the Btown music scene's basement dwellers for being warm as the sunshine, to Kate Siefker for being cool about everything & hardly charging us for a masterful mastering job, to Katie Cruel for encouraging these songs to grow beyond our Collins dorm room last spring, and to Dad & Mom for giving a genuine shit about my music <3
