South San Gabriel Kept On The Sly
Isn’t it time you found a reason to write a new code?
I wanna tell you how to live this down
Safe in the steps of my hallucinatory hello’s
I wanna tell you how to live this down
Afternoon gold has sealed the substance of all of my
thoughts
Craters of delight, easy with time
And when all my prophecies are cold, will you still keep
me close?
And now that the tendons and the bones have all turned to
black stone
Stumbling down through all the papers and trash in the
light
With cypress on your blouse, kept on the sly
Equipped with your story and some pieces of shingle and
rope
I wanna tell you how to live this down
