Videotape Seascape

Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the streetlights sway

You left your pregnant girlfriend in a train station in Spain.

Parades burst from your brain, plaid haired girls call your name

Fireflies weave resorts, built of light on perfect shores,

Knife thrust, lust, angel dust, purple sky's before dusk

In the back of a pick up truck, racing from your shitty luck,

Black water in a crystal skull

Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean

Black water pouring out your mouth

Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound

Oh Townes Van Zandt haunts your headphones the street lights groan

That piece of shit left you at a train station all alone,,

You steal somebody's purse, ravens rip through your skirt,

Babies in TV screens chase you out into the street,

Madrid's finest hotel, whisky and painkillers.

If stolen master cards could pay off all this shitty luck

Black water in a crystal skull

Drink deep and hallucinate an ancient ocean

Black water pouring out your mouth

Time travel to worlds composed of ice fields and sound

When all your friends would call her they'd say it's for the best

You can't force a man to love you. He'd be a shitty dad.

They started the trip in the city of Cannes

They drank in streets under Cubist mansions

And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face

And when she told him that she was knocked up you should have seen his face

Black water in a crystal skull

Black water filling up your lungs

Black water in the south of France

Black water changing all your plans yeah
