It's been a long, long drive but we're here We found a dream inside of the gears We kicked some rocks around found a mirror Now we're on the ground and need a beer We're mining this hill and building this mill We're writing our will in case it falls Now the mining cars move twice a day and the golden bars by guarded stage Let the miners camp along the way Since we landed here and made a claim We're mining this hill and building this mill We're writing our will in case it falls It was meant to be our discovery From sea to golden sea It never ends

You got the key ignition I've got the rattled tones I'm an honest engine hear me roar I've got the massive tires You got an ass of steel You won't get fired I can't feel Plowin down all the hills and knolls Grade it flat now it feels like home The land goes on forever Your job is safe with me Nature begs for an acre Go extinct

Washington is really mad California's all been had Oregon is smoking pot Arizona's way too hot I've been through the west Time to pave the rest Idaho is such a drag All the guns in Utah sag In Nevada, lost my cash Colorado's smoking hash I've been through the west Time to pave the rest Miss Montana much, I weep In Nebraska, fell asleep In New Mexico, I lag All Wyoming's dressed in drag I've been through the west Time to pave the rest

I used to live on a grassy hill Orange trees outside window sill Now I stare at a prefab tract Orange blossom days not coming back Life was so nice before you moved in Now it looks like it's time I gave in You wouldn't care if I hit the road You wouldn't care if I'm put on hold Preaching bumper sticker Christianity I can't stand your flat earth society

Silver Queen 03:24
She laughs flat on her back intact and her radiance good 6-pack's not coming back in fact I think that they all should Silver queen it's not like in dreams but things are still misunderstood Fantasy, like your liberty remains so far from Hollywood Transfixed the size of your tits I sit alone thinking of you Bad trips reality clicks No chicks have been as pretty as you Silver queen it's not like in dreams but things are still misunderstood Fantasy, like your liberty remains so far from Hollywood The desert lies beyond with dust instead of fog The engine's turning on 2 hours, we'll be gone

Aerial 02:22
Going up the mountainside Nice day for a trammin' ride Clouds look like cottonball ghosts Superclear views to Mexico Above the clouds I walk up here With my friends there are no tears Trouble down below the clouds I don't care I'm up here now Aerial examiner Stereo pentameter The world is here
10.
They want your money Ain't it funny They care less about you than themselves See the sunset in the desert in your rear view mirror See the colors, there are others who would like to be here You are lucky Enjoy the yucky Such a privilege you will miss In the future Enjoy the present That's all you can, I insist See the sunset in the desert in your rear view mirror See the colors, there are others who would like to be here

B.K.K. 04:12
Curse the violent screams Curse the vitamin heals Curse the landfill of death Curse the dragon's firebreath Curve the straightest road stretch Curse the greatest ball catch Kill the sadness inside Make the goodness all rise It's alright Just sit tight Beautiful sight All tonight

Far away, the surfers wait for upcoming massive waves I'll join them on Saturday I work the days in Riverside Too tired to go out at night Get to bed and shut the light As I drift off into sleep I forget my troubled week and my mind begins to breathe I dream about the golden sand Perfect waves and little tanned surfer girls that hold my hand Every day I dream about PCH and In-n-Out California girls, no doubt Santa Barbara, Mission Bay Mendocino, Monterey Crescent City, Onofre Sailing out of Inverness Down the channel Tomales was the best, but could you guess? All these things I have to praise Kept my will to live aflame Thanks to California days Thanks to everyone you see Thanks to all my friends away Never to be seen again

about

The concept for this album began in the summer of 2002. Recording started soon after, but then became sporadic, and eventually the album was scrapped. This album uses only new recordings and was recorded over the course of four days in March 2014, mostly using songs that were written in 2002 for the planned album, but also older songs and some new ones. Thanks for listening.
