lyrics

THE FRENCH QUARTER DOES NOT ADD UP
AKA TIRED OF NOT BEING AWAY FROM HERE
(Dedicated to Ryan Galbasini)

Flush out the devil's eyes
They say he owns the tide
He's happy to prove them right
(He's only 10% water weight)

To flush out the devil's eyes
You might need the sea to rise

I've been treading for too long

I've got a reason for my actions
We're all ears, we'd like to know
You'll find that gravity pulls you faster
After you let go

You have no need whispering

You feel the need to be free
False oppressive safety
("You're such a bully")
It takes weight to suffocate

You're either selfish or you're passive
(Hang tight)

We share a plate when carving up your soul
(Please pass the knife)

Gravity pulls you harder in directions you first go
(Fight or Flight)

The current is still
Or a hesitant calm
A storm is never far away

A fortune never guesses with cash beyond the arm

Let's raise a glass to your sobriety, propriety
Your hypocrisy knows bounds further than mine

So how's it feel to pull a "Watergate..."
(To be ahead and feel you're far behind)

You know we still need an apology, apology
You'd free yourself if you'd admit your crimes

You choose a cave and go to hibernate
Bi-polar bear reprised / reprisal.
