rock to the left, rock it to the right rock every night we shared our fat parts together under the blue chlorine water it was private and quite intimate our wrinkled toes touching the pools cement locked our eyes into our souls explored our weakness and fat rolls, I like her and she likes me we’re gonna grow old and live by the sea she loves me when i am sober, she loves me when I am drunk i like her even when she smells like a skunk we talk about movies and books we read we go out dancing but baby she takes lead i don’t smoke but she loves her cloves I like it cuz it stays in my clothes we rock to left and we rock to the right rock so much we rock every night so we moved to the caribbean hover in the water like a space station get a job as a tour diver to pay the bills live on the beach with the crabs and seagulls

in the morning... i am gonna take over mars, i am gonna be a better man i am gonna show you the best of this world, while holding your hand it might not mean something now, but it’ll mean something later after dinner i’ll get the bill, and you can tip the waiter can’t walk right up to you, and say you’re lovely (“you’re lovely”) so i’ll wander this club, and hope you’ll walk up to me (“to me”) get no sense of this dance floor, fall into your eyes (“or your lies”) take me home tonight, and i’ll move down between your thighs i can hardly believe that you want me in your bed i can hardly believe that you want me to know you there i can hardly believe that you want me in the morning i can hardly believe that you want me here at all my friends say you’re too good, for the likes of me but few friends i got, and only a few friends i need so i’ll take you out, to where you want to go i’ll do the things you like, and put on a private show we get drunk in public restrooms, and run through public parks after dark we swim in water holes, and then try to find our clothes lost our bikes and, our frisbee in the woods so we walk on home, between raindrops on our tip toes i can hardly believe that you want me in your bed i can hardly believe that you want me to know you there i can hardly believe that you want me in the morning i can hardly believe that you want me here at all it takes time getting use to it but i am getting use to it, alright

feet under me running as fast as they can suddenly my ears hear the hum moving closer jump into this pirate ship and escape the bees feel awful when you hear your best friend trip fall down and gets stung and screams sometimes I wish I had sabertooth tigers to come rescue me, care for me, set me free sometimes I wish I was a cub in the pack and everyone knew my name I want to glow-in-the-dark or be a hologram I want to be the shame of cheap marketing scam sometimes I wish I had sabertooth tigers to come rescue me, care for me, set me free sometimes I’d wish I was a cub in the pack and everyone knew my name

Alone 02:34
Hey there sailor, you got a package for me, for me, to see Hey there mister, you got a seltzer for me, for me, for free And you’ve learned a hard lesson That there’s no reason To cut yourself Out of this world But I am alone I am a bag of bones I am alone, alone We know, we can hear you moan So shut up, get dressed Getting moving you’ve had your rest (rest rest) Get out, be your anti-drug Get out! Be you sexy thug All this time I was alone All this time and I am still a bag of bones But I am learning to change my tone And I feel a whole lot better with all this coke I’ve blown Blow….. Oh, why can’t it snow in the summer time that’d be just fine I’d make a snow cone for you and a big one that’s mine We’d ski to the beach and catch a tan with a snowman But it’ll only get cold when I fan your sexy can Well can do
11.
i’ll wine and dine her i’ll start her fire and you know she’ll love it (repeated 4 times) she’ll love it! (woo!) she’ll love it! (woo!) she’ll love it! (yeah yeah yeah yeah!) (repeat 2 times)
12.
Busy digging graves or Throwing groceries into bags Still thinking about how soft your hands were Well there’s either soil under your nails Or sticky juices and milk on your finger tips Weather gets cold and our skin dries out Loosing communication with your friends can be tough But the money’s flowing and the drinks are filling But I’d rather be kissing your soft lips Digging holes and making crypts Planning outings and friendly trips If you bag too many groceries that bag’ll surely rip And that fella won’t give you another tip That fella won’t give you another tip I can’t wait for the summer time We’ll all go on one big road trip Exchanging pictures of our adventures Sure looks like good times are everywhere Yeah I might not be next to you but at least I am not somewhere under ground We’ll meet at an airport Hug in unison with all those other reunions there Digging holes and making crypts Planning outings and friendly trips If you bag too many groceries that bag’ll surely rip And that fella won’t give you another tip, no That fella won’t give you another tip

Rescue Me 02:31
rescue me, before i die save my soul, and put in a jar for a rainy day i am white as a ghost, my years flash by and i am good as gone i never thought, that i’d die this way tell me it ain’t bad, the ambulance is almost here i am just broken, something doctors can easily repair we’ve had good times, but my time seems to be up but go into the light, i do not dare someday i’ll wish you were me, so i could be getting rich off the dead someday i’ll rise up again, i’ll hunt you down and bite into your head you will all be in my zombie army! (i’ll eat your brains) you will all be in my zombie army! (i’ll change your names) you will all be in my zombie army! (i’ll lick your gut stains) you will all be in my zombie army! (i’m changing lanes) but we’ll all rapidly decompose when it rains so i guess i suppose, just burn my remains

about

Through the darkness and long nights of the Icelandic winter, AA forged on to create an odd collection of shimmering songs. Swimming pool discoveries, grave digging adventures and sweet sweet American love affairs.
