lyrics

I came a long long way
Laughing Athena won't you kick my boon?
smog-bomb thick, throwing a beam out
turn the pressure valve gone get oily in the ground
and get smoked up
I won't wait I wanna see something
And I'm breaking the fallout
saw it oozing' the green, the gold

Oh no me too
Seeing double again in a ghost town
A bone dry, a long gone city
evacuated, a scrapyard belly uh huh

A message floating loose in space
Carry coordinates away
Transmitted signals over time

Backsliding on a rig don't even know why
Why shield them from the devil
Hide them all
Til it only feels a heat
Aw haw haw haw haw haw haw
Make a meal
Don't make a deal
Or eat up the loot
Bottle em up, howl on, cheat em
Satan not makin my route

They say it’s plain as day
A well ya gushing the fuel
And that stuff gone kill it
Halt, stop, forget it!
down under the earth
Take us all down with it

Hold on
Said you don’t mean no wrong grandpa
Well you did it
Out of the crater jumped a big groundhog

In an illusionary life
I've got a bottle and a knife
Loud electrons in the rain

I sail out of the hydroplane
Potholes shakin' my hitch
a break pedal
a wasteland devil
Breeding out a back in a ditch
I won't do it
Don't make a me never
Never ever ever again
Take a ride out back of the crater
By the Schuylkill County mines again
