Bad Astronaut Stillwater California Lyrics

Stillwater California Lyrics

Still waters death defying

Cesspools from stagnation

Wading the quicksand channel

Slow moving light focus

Anywhere but here bogus

This perfect world captivates you



And it survives you

Hey Derrick

Soils you

Hey Jason

Silences you

Hey Bomer

Dogs in the still water wade

Until they drown



On to the escalators

Down on the elevators

Vagrants and wayfarers

Prime real estate to be homeless

Quality in quantity

In seemingly endless sunny

Sand filled hourglass of death



And it shined on you

Hey Derrick

Lied to you

Hey Jason

Gagged on you

Hey Bomer

Dogs on the still water drown

Before their small town



And we're off this week to Johannesburg

Via Wien, Austria

Then on to Italy

Sometimes it feels like we've seen everything

And all of it means nothing

The rooms are all the same

This is my life until I can't compete

Much sooner than they might think

It's always the still water town

Hey Derrick

Hey Jason

Hey Richard

We'll find a new hell without you
