lyrics

I've got a cavity and God is trying to talk to me
He's talking and talking
Alone in my simple place
voices call from outer space
I'm shook and I'm shockin'

I've tripped up a dozen times
My friends all were plastic bags of lies

Take some just to impress
I guess the word got out the kids are future-less
And we drink some just to talk slow
I know my government is watching where I go

I've got a nose bleed and someone's trying to talk to me
He says the ends coming
But I've got electricity and my friends are trying to rock with me
While ya'lls is just running

I've tripped out a hundred times
Enough to know I haven't lost my mind :)

Take some just to impress
I guess the word got out the kids are future-less
And we drink some just to talk slow
I know my government is watching where I go
And it's all of this, it's the things I risk
It is my dogs, my son, my drugs, my love, my consciousness
And we take some just to talk slow
I swear my government is watching where I go

All I know is I should not go
All I see is I should not leave
