about

I wrote the music for this tune way back in 2004. One of my college bands (audica) used to play a different version of this song called "Ankles vs. Shackles." The lyrics were written by Jason Harrison.

lyrics

Even 'fore ya know it, we'll be singing along with you.
We got stars in our eyes, and we sure like to be read to.
Ya know, I read somewhere they do the same things we do

Like wanna get high.

Mt. St. Helens, she woke up and swallowed the west coast.
She shed her lumber and poured down Sierra's throat.
She won't give it back until something upsets her.

And then where will we go?

We're just passengers.

I got a good vessel; I think I'll just sail west of here.
If the world's flat, I'll write you or buy you a souvenir.
They got the best truck stops just outside the atmosphere.

You get to barter for price.

I heard Atlantis just lost his confidence.
No social insecurity but unusual circumstance.
He wanted to stay up, but his villagers outvoted him.

They were ready to go.

We got our hopes so high.
We got our hands so sleight,
And we got our lips wrapped tight
Around whatever we want.
