lyrics
It was awkward like F minor the first time I saw you naked.
Thought you found Jesus in me while I lied there faking.
You told your mama I was coming late again again again again.
My brain has a mind of its own, I don't know which way it goes.
Party humor, be my human, be my savior, laugh at my jokes, I've been on good behavior.
May seem filthy, sister calls me a little brother, dirty dancing is my Mexico fun.
I'm a dyke, dated guys, ain't a crime, won't apologize for my tribe.
You should let me cut your hair to make you look a little better.
They'll be barking up your tree: Mary, Allison, and Heather.
Oh, be my friend or hate my guts, it doesn't matter, we're all fucked.
My brain has a mind of it's own, I don't know which way it goes.
I was California dreaming, American dream's deceiving, East coast leaving, weekend heathen.
Contemplation, admiration, salivation, masturbation : four - step Friday night.
I'm a dyke, dated guys, ain't a crime, won't apologize for my tribe.
I ain't the man I could have been on the East Coast.
I ain't the man i should have been on the East Coast.
I am the man I could have been on the East Coast.
I ain't the man I should have been on the East Coast.
I am the man I could've been.
Burned bridge builder, got thrown off kilter, brightened up my filter, so I wouldn't kill her, or be sadistic, by those ballistic, or become a statistic!
I'm a dyke, dated guys, ain't a crime, won't apologize for my tribe.
Complex emotions and political taboos drenched in sarcasm, shaken, and poured into a glass battlecry on the psych-rocks —
the LRW cocktail. All genders and ages, give “MINDSEYE" and “SELF LOVE" a taste. Ward’s raspy vibrato weaves perspectives that'll leave an imprint. Feel for yourself this April on their UK/European headlining tour. ...more
