Chippin Island
Time hanging from a clothespin
There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna heal
Smell the leather of your new car
Draft through the desert after nightfall
Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves
The kind of love that makes my back hurt
Wear nothing but a t-shirt
She's turning over on a mattress made of hair
I close my eyes and see a staircase
Leading upwards in the blank space
All the creaking makes the sound too soft to hear
So our main beat between her legs
Sheltered from all my fears
While bad girls glide by
Highway shrines where pilgrims disappear
I know the trouble's been you good friends
Can't you come the only weekends?
Can't you come even once your mind was made
She said it's over and it's finished
Now her headache's all you left with
When I'm different I got debts I'd like to pay
We should move to Sausalito
Living's easy on a houseboat
Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep
In the morning sunrise
Look in the water see the blue sky
As if heaven has been laid there at our feet
So we remain beat between these waves
Sheltered for all our years
While bad girls glide by
Highway shrines where pilgrims disappear
Your time takes icebergs where fields burn westward
Where pilgrims disappear
The barrio stalls two streets over
Miguel, he's a friend of mine
With brickweed built a reputation
Like dry ice in the summertime
Now all you need's an electric razor
A magic bullet and a grass you know
The whole world's just a little oyster
Just know I am a poison at blues
I woke up in the age of wires
I fell asleep at the dusk of man
Now I'm calling
Fingers crossed in the promised land
But you won't be getting in
No, you won't be getting in
No, you won't be getting in
I'm so loud in heaven
The barrio stalls two streets over
Montse, she's a friend of mine
With brickweed built a reputation
Like dry ice in the summertime
Now all you need's an electric razor
A magic bullet and a grass you know
The whole world's just a little oyster
Just know I am a poison at blues
Just know I am a poison at blues
Just know I am a poison at blues
Just know I am a poison at blues
In heaven
The barrio stalls two streets over
Montse, she's a friend of mine
The barrio stalls two streets over
Montse, she's a friend of mine
With brickweed built a reputation
Like dry ice in the summertime
Now all you need's an electric razor
A magic bullet and a grass you know
The whole world's just a little oyster
Just know I am a poison at blues
Just know I am a poison at blues
In heaven
The barrio stalls two streets over
Montse, she's a friend of mine
To hell with you, no but now
To hell with you, no but now
To hell with you, no but now
