lyrics

One up, one down; hearts spinning around.
That's how it is in my town, tonight.
Scorekeepers counting winners and weepers,
and all those lovesick peepers trying really hard to stay, out of sight.

Let me lay a little run about Jo Jo Gunn,
spin man got the get-down done, on an Air Ride, Super U.
Shoutin’ out the throws, dancin on the intros - graceful –
time it out before the singer, comes shining through.

Yeah those were the days when the songs got down, and money followed dreams
not the other way around and the good times - roll tape on queue.
Less flame-throwin’ talkin’ bout ‘offin your hater man cram him down
in his coffin it was more about love getting through.

You call it back in the day sure enough but they really never went away,
there's just more stuff. Getting in the way of what really matters
Like time off when you owed no one nothing and you found a little space,
in your soul for roughing out your dreams.

Maybe dreams of getting away from that control freak scene
from everyone's whose trying to kick the life out of anyone
with enough spine who is trying to
dilute the brine with a little fresh water.

Yeah, anyone who's trying to neutralize that acid,
(neutralize that acid), with a little bit of bass…

[bass interlude]

Anyway, back to my DJ and how he
helped me get through the bad days.
With everyone going off on each other
with a hundred metal blade heart cutter.

With a cut and cut back and do it all again,
til there's a history as far as the eye can see and
it's got everyone presumin’ that the next human
being coming at you is your enemy.
When in fact the similarities between the two of you
are damn near uno-double-0 bro, you know?

And in the midst of all this muck,
I remember gonna chuck it all
and check out on an Air Ride
