I'm living on coffee and pie I can't remember my dreams I wander through the days, til night comes And I get to play my guitar Like a man on fire Been avoiding all signs I've seen on the way If I don't like the game you're playing Why do I got to play? What are we supposed to be? I've been sailing through my twenties But now I'm lost at sea When I get my shit together I'll be sure to let you know Call you up from wherever I've been Stumblin and bumblin And fumblin for the key And tell ya, now I've got my shit together I can make some time for you and I Problem with a real job Is it's too much work Being a bum don't hold cachet, But its got its perks Like if I'm thinking of the future, it's just about lunch Any further than that, I get knots in my belly and a solid hunch That I'll never know what I'm supposed to be If it's a joke, it's not funny, you know what I mean CHORUS

East side princess, not wearing any shoes I'm the California kid, I've got nothing to lose Not my first roller coaster, I've rode this ride before Someone clings till the other's crazy, or one of us gets bored Still I'm tempted, as I tend to be Only one way this gonna go, naturally We try to be friends till that one loose night We take off each others clothes and hope things turn out alright It's never worked before, but let's try and try again She could be the one who brings this loneliness to it's end So call me Sisyphus, call me Charlie Brown I'll keep trying to kick that ball till they put me in the ground Could she be the same regret in a different dress? Am I overthinking, have I beaten this to death? Tell you true, I wasn't always this hard But loves got a way of calcifying even the softest heart CHORUS

End Times 03:49
We're not the first to fear the end, but the first to see it begin We let the ignorant obfuscate a little too long Do I really need to fill you in? Blue ice melting, home fires raging Better hang tough, it's gonna be a rough one Get yourself a snorkel, buy your daddy fins These may be the end times we find ourselves in And I know it's hard to keep your mind from going under But didn't you always say you wanted a place on the water? Been a good run for apes with guns Rift to Silicon Valley We built up, we got down, We were the meanest species around But kingdoms crumble, empires fall This one's gonna top em all CHORUS We're so fucked, it's so fucking fucked how fucked we are Adios Miami, bidaya Bangladesh The days just grow hotter the older this song gets CHORUS

about

Jesse Cobb San Francisco, California

Jesse Cobb & The Golden West are a band that blends the various flavors of Californias musical history into a tangy rock n soul stew. Folding in the SoCal-slick jazz-funk sounds of Steely Dan, the earthy Americana crunch of Neil Young, and the joyful improvisation and group dynamics of Western swing, the Golden West has a raw, fiercely original sound that could only originate on the best coast. ... more
