Good Call
01:31
|

|
I swam the lake and it was good
good call / good call
I leaned my back against the wood
pretty pretty / pretty good
and then I woke up and it was cold
my friends were gone and I was old
I couldn't move / I couldn't breathe
and darkness was upon the face of the deep
I swam the lake and it was good
good call / good call
I leaned my back against the wood
pretty pretty / pretty good

I've Got a Bottle
02:23

I've got a bottle of ink
I draw the things that I think
are funny and sad when life is a drag
I'm happy that I've got a bottle of ink
I've got a bottle to drink
I talk and talk about things that I think
are funny and sad when life is a drag
I'm happy that I've got a bottle to drink
so I'd love to just hang out
I'd love to just hang out before the dealer
flips the top card face up on the felt
and I'd love to get hungry and eat
I would love to get hungry and eat
and thank whatever brought the whole world
falling at our feet
I've got a bottle of ink
I draw the things that I think
are funny and sad when life is a drag
I'm happy that I've got a bottle of ink

Sublime Sun Tattoo
01:59
|
|||
|
think of a time when you were brand new
now look at your Sublime sun tattoo
the yellow ink has lost it's hue but it's still blue
it's still blue / it's still blue / caribbean blue
think of a time when you wondered who
was singing Caribbean Blue
bashfully you asked the shopkeep if she knew
and she knew that it's track 2
on Enya's Shepherd Moons
now stalkers stab themselves for you
got a hundred milli and a castle too
but there's nobody to share the view
you must be so blue / so blue
so blue / caribbean blue

Worrier Spirit
02:07

|
don't read the comments
don't get in the van
listen to your worrier spirit
your worrier spirit's got a plan
how long has that thing been here?
does it look like it's grown?
listen to your worrier spirit
your worrier spirit ought to know
worrier spirit / worrier spirit
imagine the thing and then fear it
worrier spirit / worrier spirit
working the pedals while I steer it
don't let the sun in
and don't get out of bed
listen to your worrier spirit
the worrier spirit in your head

I'm Dying

I'm dying
done trying
there's not much time
I'm holding on for you until July
I'm dying
bad wiring
defective parts
lethargic and corrupt
I can't restart
shutting down
won't respond
power off
force eject
spinning wheel
do not save

Maybe I'll See You
02:31
|
|||
|
I saw this dude
who looked a lot like you
he looked a lot like you
I thought I knew
the voice and the tattoos
the shirt and hairdo
but he turned around and I didn't have a clue
I saw this bro
who looked like somebody I know
someone that I know
the lights came on
I looked around, bro was gone
no duck, no swan
something changed but I couldn't put my finger on
so do what you want to
and maybe I'll see you sometime
do what you want to
and maybe I'll see you sometime
maybe I'll see you sometime

Unsolved Mystery
02:22
|

|
is this really who you wanna be?
is this really who you wanna be?
is it an unsolved mystery?
or is it really who you wanna be?
your father's only son was a somber one
is this really who you wanna be?
is this really who you wanna be?
are you out raging against the machine?
and is that really who you wanna be?
your father's only son was a somber one
is this really who you wanna be?
is this really who you wanna be?
is your name David or is it Steve?
and is that really who you wanna be?
your father's only son was a somber one
and with a coffin nail / descending minor scale

Bogus Journey
02:18
|
|||
|
everything will be okay even if it's not
so if the sun won't rise today
It's bad, bad luck
guns and roses / bloody noses
Bill and Ted's journey was bogus
death plays upright bass
but there's no escaping from
the place inside the wall
the place inside the wall

the bullshit detector's going off
nightclub heckler

if you think you can do it better then come on down
if you think you can do it better then come on down
I'm getting bored
I'm getting bored
I'm getting bored of the view
I'm sick of myself
I'm sick of myself
but darling I'm not sick of you
I'm waving goodbye
I'm waving goodbye
as my spirit becomes something new

Who Doesn't Know
02:45
|

belligerent little dudes
with shit in their pants
are you trying to tell us something?
we don't understand
avoiding the accidentals
on a plastic glockenspiel
doing a hundred on the 401
now you know it's real
yeah, you know it's real
yeah, you know
I'm a baby and I'm dumb
but I'm the only one
who doesn't know
who doesn't know
I am a private eye
and I'm spying on some guy
who doesn't know
who doesn't know
to wake up inside a nightmare
where everything is wrong
the cannibals are cooking up a stew
so blame your older brother
you should of known it all along
the cannibals are looking straight at you
It's me, I'm in disguise
and I should probably tell my wife
who doesn't know
who doesn't know

|
maybe when we're old
if the money lasts
we'll get in our pod and go back
tribal warfare
dirty water, dirty air
no animals, no magic ark
dystopian oligarch
you maniacs
you blew it up
but before the crash
before the rust
it was heaven
it was heaven on earth
it was heaven
it was heaven on earth

Diaper Hill
03:36
|

|
before the sun hits diaper hill I'm gonna chill
so small and mad I can't resist
smiling at your little fist
I can’t tell
I can't tell if it’s funny as fuck
or really fucking lame
so I'm just gonna wait over there
I can’t tell
Is this a stone or a brick? I can't tell
Is this the stones or the kinks? I can't tell
did someone put something in my drink?
it's not a tumor and it's not a zit
I can't tell
I can't tell if it's funny as hell
or some type of revenge
but I'm standing here dressed like The Crow
I couldn't tell you where the apostrophe goes
but you can slide it between the prison bars
somewhere there's a finger
that I lost in the spokes
and what I'd be without you
well, God only knows
I can't tell
I can't tell where I'd be or what I'd do
without you

Bigger Than Jesus
03:39
|
|||
|
I couldn't before
now I can sort of whistle along
I've got a circle of friends
sort of hanging on
followers and likes
in some notion bigger than Christ
bigger than Jesus
gone father verging on the altar
we're gonna live forever
new daughter marching on the water
we're gonna live forever
probably bigger than Christ
bigger than Jesus

Father's Day / Coda
02:43
|
|||
|
I don't want much
just to hold a sacred charm
or a burrito in the park
I don't want much
just to touch the candy stars
or a can of PBR
I don't want much
just to hear the voice of God
or whatever's on the iPod
I don't want much

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschi
supported by 8 fans who also own “I Know Now Why You Cry”
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do. I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool. Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world.
