Get Dead - Kerouac's Teeth Lyrics
On the road like Kerouac, packed in a van full of Bukowski'sIn the desert in November, there's so much out there I'd like to seeBut the silence in the canyon, feels just fine with electricityAnd in this harsh environment well, even the devil gets his sympathiesSo I dig on down into the dirt,Past the surface, and the hurt, just to see what we've been building onPast the love regret and fire, childish dreams and downward spiralsThen all I found was, were these songsJust old songs, they're never quite right but they're never quite wrongOld songs, just old songsThey might lead you astray or they might just lead you homeAnd the city lights and stars just fight, so in the dark is where I'd rather beFar away from all the left and the right wing televised tragedyAnd it's easy not to pick a side, when it's just all a compromise to meBut ain't it all just a *****ing lie, when you come to find they put a price on freeSo I dig on down into the dirt,Past the surface, and the hurt, just to see what we've been building onPast the love regret and fire, childish dreams and downward spiralsThen all I found was, were these songsJust old songs, they're never quite right but they're never quite wrongOld songs, just old songsThey might lead you astray or they might just lead you homeWe’re throwing grenades in small spaces just to save face for an argumentBut it's all just a brass polish on a sinking ship the point has missed my friendsAnd I've been holding my breath for longer than I'd like to stateSo I exhale a bitter smoke of just about well everything.So I dig on down into the dirt,Past the surface and the hurt, just to see what we've been building onPast the love regret and fire, childish dreams and downward spiralsThen all I found was, were these songsJust old songs, they're never quite right but they're never quite wrongOld songs, just old songsThey might lead you astray or they might just lead you homeAll these old songs
