Modest Mouse - Beach Side Property lyrics

Wow! said the broken californian down<br>On the beach that used to be by the beach<br>Town hasn't moved but's getting closer, losing ground<br>Making better views and close relaxing sounds<br>Ground sure don't like the way it's treated so now<br>It's moving back to the sea<br>Plan to hitch a ride with the river<br>Cuz deep down plumbing life is too cramped for me<br>I got wood legs and bow legs and no legs at all<br>Goddamn! would you accept a collect call? <br>Oh no, I don't understand<br>I got sore eyes and poor eyes and no eyes at all<br>Goddamn! would you like to take a fall? <br>No I don't like this plan<br>It was a staple of brass tacks and waxed backs<br>A memo left on the forehead of god<br>Sent sealed and signed by the saints who sang this song:<br>We're going union like they say<br>We'll buy the congregation<br>Then one day, you'll find us sitting<br>In your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares.
