Lucas's song was fun to write, because i love the duality of the bar-side/riverbed aspects. he's this "cool" guy with his sunglasses and his leather jackets and nights ~on the town~, but he's gonna chase a lizard through the mud in a couple hours, he's gonna sleep in the bottom of a bathtub. excess in the evenings and mornings that go right down the drain. i had a good time with that, haha.

lyrics

highline, licorice
nicotine, flick the wrist
daylight, wasted...
lover, it's an easy miss

bar-side, riverbed, say;
where you gonna rest your weary head?
oh, what a fine night...
say _sir,_ could you spare a light?

---

highline,
licorice nicotine,
flick the wrist.
daylight, wasted...
lover, it's an easy miss.

bar-side,
riverbed,
say.
where you gonna rest your weary head?
snakebites and long sighs
get off the counter, get a life.

[i don't THINK so. huh!]
[did'ya hear what she said?]

I cannot explain why I love this album in a coherent way. I can only say that when I listen to these tracks, I feel hope, I feel despair, I feel the weight of gravity push me towards Earth. I feel like a child of space. merox
