Gold In The Sunset

Bob Schneider

i went to your house a little monkey in the gloom 
you were making bacon the punch line came too soon 
made me a beverage thought i had it made 
turns out it was a glass of see ya laterade 

i know where tomorrow be too damn far away 
today ain't my cup of tea and everything is grey 
knucked out and lost all the bats have flown 
monsters in the closets' all i've ever known 

all the gold in the sunset all the diamonds on the sea 
all the gold in the sunsets all ill ever need 
all the gold in the sunset all the diamonds in the sea 
its all we need to set ourselves free 

chuckle belly superstition brought on by the dead 
got inside my constitustion ate up my whole head 
take me down to nowhere that's where i belong 
keep yourself beautiful dont try and get me wrong 

sideshow snakebites got me in the mood 
i recently switched uver to decaf honey i hate to be so rude 
but ive been operating all night need some quick relief 
released in the ocean with your shark-like teeth 

she'll use all the closet brass in her little pipe 
smoking in those wingtips 
kissing all them young boys goodnight 
damage done soliloquy high-water gash 
fire holes rose walls i need a little cash 

swimming in her boxcar her scents in my beard 
there's going to be a fireworks display tonight everything is weird 
sperm kitchen headache everywhere i turn 
shallow-wired and snakeskin maybe i'll never learn 

she got the gun she got the gun again 
sipping on a pipe razor backed up and smoking indochina
