lyrics

Let’s start a gang
we’ll shoot up this town
Start at the ampm and end at City Hall downtown

I don’t matter who we hit
because it won’t make no difference
you know my aim is for shit
and I’m pretty sure yours is too

We'll have to steal a car
one of reliable means
A brand belonging to the common kind
of a color that won’t attract any eyes

My neighbor’s got one down the street
station wagon with vinyl seats
I’m pretty sure she keeps the gas tank full
full enough to get us out of here

Now I’m your son of a gun
from the Year of the Dragon
Your my saddle tramp sidekick
from the Year of the Snake

And we ride on the mischievous side
stair dancing over the firing line
They say if you don’t obsess about it
then it’s probably better to live without it

So we cross the Arroyo Bridge
as the rubbernecks spit at what we did
and all the sunlight on the vinyl seats
burns our legs in the summer heat

We know it’s wrong, but we do it anyway,because we like it and you like us that way

about

Oceanography Oakland, California

Oceanography is the solo project of Oakland-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Kelly. He brings a unique pop sensibility to bittersweet songs of heartbreak, loss, and longing, recalling at times The War on Drugs, My Morning Jacket, and Damien Jurado. His literary eye for detail and deceptively powerful voice create moments of catharsis and beauty amid the bleak and mundane. ... more
