about

This was another song that Jason wrote. My arrangement is a bit different though. This was also part of the Lowbrow project, but I've given the song more of a rock n' roll edge. I have quite a soft spot for this tune.

lyrics

Comin' fast and hard,
It's raining cats and dogs and water moccasins
From that town you hated
Born and raised, baptized, and born and raised again.
So just cry me river or the seven seas and every ocean.

Let's just break it down
Right down to its most basic compounds,
Its salt content, cell count, its huge fucking mushroom cloud.

So I'll just write the story of the walls and trees and buildings in this town.
It's a real page turner thick with irony, mood, and first person,
And all the critics rave you can't put it down, put down.

Try not to freak out.
Oh but these walls are closing in, blood pressure's crumbling.
I've got half a mind to talk about the half I lost.
My brother knows.

Try to freak out.
I'll be the first to say
Under that sun born and raised
With its big red claws
Stuck in the southern states
Your birthplace, your grave.

Oh, now I'm freaking out.
Because because
I see it all so clear;
It's perfectly circular
Am I the same, am I the same
As when I first drew breath?
Was it my first or last?
