Can't Get There From Here (Athens demo) Songtext
Thank you, Ray
When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you′re needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He's mighty bad to visit home
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can't get there) Can′t get there from here
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin′ off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can't get there) Can′t get there from here
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
Hands down,
Calechee bound
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
When your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can′t get there) Can't get there from here
(Can't get there) Can′t get there from here...
Testify
