Wasting Time (Isla Vista Song)

Well I was sittin' on the porch with Mel and Web

Kickin' back pullin' tubes courtesy of Jeb

When Smootie rang up and he dropped a dime

We're at the Django house and the waves are fine

Dan came back with an ol' lap steel

When he puts it in his hands he's got to be real

If you come around the corner don't forget to turn

And bring a little fire we got somethin' to burn

I got around the corner, I was half way there

When I met Ted Moore and of course John Hare

They had just got a sack weighing 3.5

It was 4:19, just about that time

So we took a detour to 6703

The house they occupy oceanside D.P.

Got up stairs and locked the door

Jerry and the Dead on the video

They pulled out the binger and I started to drool

It was the 5 foot caustic weapon crystal tool

I caught the fumes and I lost my mind

Happens every time that I smoke the kind, but...

I never learn but I don' mind, I'm just wastin' time

I went to the beach and I picked up a rock

I threw it in the ocean and the waves then

Caught it and dropped it back into the sea

So then I walked away and I let it be

Cause it had been lying there for a million days

Before I picked it up and threw it away

I left the shore, went to the liquor store

Saw crazy Bruce, he was waiting for

Someone to buy him some fine malt liquor

When he gets it in his system he's a real shitkicker

He'll play you a song if you've got the time

And even if you don't, he's liable to try

So I left him there, and went into S.O.S.

Bought myself a bottle of the black cisco death

Drank it down while watching Dave's band

Somebody stuck a doob in my hand

So I took a hit and I passed it on

I woke up on the pavement not before too long

I never learn but I don't mind

But sometimes it takes a couple of tries, but...
