free_or_dead
unhinged so here i am
trying to be the man right
using my gun to see at night
sleeping with my flashlight
in the afterlife i hope the ac works
so while i wait
well i'm gonna pass out and taste this curb
and she attacked with flirts
smacked my nerves
wearing that black skirt
got my nature so hard it made my back hurt
i cracked a smirk cause i was dumb and drunk
she gave a wink and a smile
and dropped a quarter in my cup
man people are kinda odd
so i keep my eyebrow raised
i only hear the words for what they mean
know what i mean?
and i do believe in god
cause i keep coming across all these fine women with low self_esteem
yeah you know what i mean
i've got attention deficit
i've got the bedroom eyes
i've got the storms in my head
i've got my telephone voice
i've got to make a decision of whether i live or die
i'd rather just run cause either way
it's one hell of a choice
my car is like my own personal universe
she's my drug and it only takes
twelve bucks to fill her up
but in my galaxy there ain't no room for earth
so i'm leaving it cause i can
feel the oil pressure building up
turning over the ignition of my solar system
check the gages
pushing the tape
put my foot on the brake
shift existence
light my cigarette
and take it to state to state
until i crash into my fate
now
giving back everything they gave me
not a damn thing
it'll take more than a good dj to save me
i'm not dancing
i can't seem to make up my bed much less my mind
so i'm gonna take another puff to my head and press rewind
i wish this car had cruise control
so i could rest my legs
i've got this itch to prove my soul
and test my fate
doing hunny in a 65
got stopped by a copper
caught
spotted and radared by a chopper
wisconsin_style
over the limit by forty miles
watch me smile cause i ain't
been around here for a long while
grabbed my paper
gave a thank
have a nice day
yo word of advice
trade the doughnuts in and get some rice cakes
back to my travels
running from my shadows
passing hitchhikers and bikers
honking the horn harassing the cattle
air back sticking to the seat
sweat dripping from the heat
digging through a cooler of a brew
i'm looking for something to eat
yo there's a hardee's at the next spot
don't wanna
but
i need to
cause i'm craving something to chase
the taste of this tequila
(drive_thru order)
90 east toward chicago
on my way to cincinnati
and i won't ever let em catch me
and i won't ever make em happy
hide your wives and daughters when i'm passing through the hometown
casting line into the water
catching goldfish out your bowl now
i'm as cool as the cat that came to school just for lunch
i'm the rebel pissing in the public pool just for fun
i speed in the sun
everyone is speaking in tongues
find the talk radio station
yo turn it up so it bumps
don't cry girl i'm out
and i'm gonna make my way east
cause everyone in my world is taking my peace
i need release and i don't think
i'm gonna find it between your legs
i'm just joking
i'm only going to the corner to get some eggs
so while she starts making the coffee
i toss my bags in the backseat
and i can remember it all like it must've happened last week
sometimes i stop to think of all the money i've spent
how i'd rather live in a tent than bust my ass to pay the rent
but i'm eager to pay my dues
and i'd be glad to pay the tollbooth
and i've agreed to sing the blues
ever_since the day i broke loose
just like a blindfolded child walking through the toy store
voice not even aware that the world is my oyster
my car is like my own personal universe
she's my drug and it only takes 12 bucks to fill her up
in my galaxy there ain't no room for earth
so i'm leaving it cause i can
feel the oil pressure building up
turning over the ignition of my solar system
check the gages
pushing the tape
put my foot on the brake
shift existence
light my cigarette
and take it to state to state
until i crash into my fate (2x)

i LOVE slug's words. they were here in milwaukee this past thursday and i had to work. *sigh* every fucking time they come to milwaukee...balls.


(this song reminds me of my brother:

'i've got attention deficit
i've got the bedroom eyes
i've got the storms in my head
i've got my telephone voice'

so every time i need to smile i turn this song all the way up)

karl the weed reading this has convinced me to go listen to all the atmosphere on my computer much more closely...

i have too much music that i still haven't listened to

but i did see a video of slug and eyedea freestyling on some radio show and it was badass

unhinged the_lucy_ford_eps and seven's_travels are among my most heavily listened albums right now. slug writes fucking amazing words. always_coming_back_home_to_you brings tears to my eyes everytime i listen; the part where the kid tries to give him the gun and says 'i don't even know how to hold it' and the beat falls out as he says 'it'....tears well up every fucking time.

that and sea_of_cowards by the dead_weather

unhinged (i asked my brother what his favorite atmosphere albums were and when ( ) left town unexpectedly a couple months ago, i went to my favorite local record store and picked them up. i haven't stopped listening for over two months.

i love riding the bus and rapping with slug.


keep an eye out. transcribing atmosphere lyrics to blather is also another thing i love to do)
