The Rain and The Swell

from Totally Human by Dan Jones and The Squids

lyrics

the day's too long
all i wanna do is make up a song
and go downtown and play it
there's lonely girls
all over this part of the world
consoled by books and wine

the glow is low
offshore below
the morning light
makes the same mistake every night

there's drums and bass
echoing for days in deep space
oh bloodshot eyeballs ache
with hat and cane
the old man buys his booze in the rain
this spinning star can be so strange

the glow is low
offshore below
the morning light
makes the same mistake every night

squids--and bioluminescence
and treasure on the deck
of a slowly shifting wreck
squids--and phosphorescent vents
and treasure on the deck
of a slowly shifting wreck

the day's too long
all I want to do is make up a song
and go downtown and play it
the old hotel
leans into the rain and the swell
the band's pretty good
I hear tell
