The video is pretty lame, but I like the song.
Lyrics below the fold…
Lyrics:
am still living with your ghost
lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don’t want to be your downtime
I don’t want to be your stupid game
with my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I’ll find myself a new place
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
go and try to shake away this disease
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don’t want to be your good time
I don’t want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I’ll walk right out into a brand new day
insane and rising in my own weird way
I don’t want to be the bad guy
I don’t want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
we can live beside the ocean
leave the fire behind
swim out past the breakers
and watch the world die

Always loved the balls on this song. I don’t even want to see the lame video. I just plugged in the tune at home and cranked it.

I’m glad you put the lyrics up. I thought he said he was still living with her goat. The only song of theirs I know is AM radio, which I like quite a bit. I liked this too. I’ll have to listen to some more.

I recommend Heroin Girl for a good belly-laugh. Most of Sparkle and Fade is terrific.

Wait a minute, it’s NOT GOAT? That changes the whole song for me.
