sue and buz catch up during fireworks

Rock out runaround giggly sue you got a kid now you got a job
You got a good few friends and you're working on your novel a lot
You call it home it never felt like yours and now on the fourth of july
your stomach hurts and the smoke is in your eyes

And you whisper to your kid as you get him in the truck
I know this place kind of sucks

Low blow chemical liquory buz he's in a fat lip kind of a mess
And he cuts no breaks when he's hiding away from his friends
And it's high time porcupine fake it to find another kind of conversation that you have in your mind
Cause you don't make a revelation on assembly lines you gotta lean back river rat you got time

And the sky is low and every night it washes out the stars
It isn't great but it's where we are

I missed you cuz sue says to buz i heard you're hurting just like us
I heard you're working way too much and getting pissed at everyone
Yeah he says some people think we're moving to the moon
Some people want to shoot us i don't want to live that way do you
Remember when you lost your cat and had to ask the neighbor kid
He picked her up by her scruff and looked at you and flicked his wrist
You apologized like three times then you realized what was happening
You weren't sorry you were famished
You were deadon you were landing
You were face paint checkmate killer whale watergate tell them what you know about ponce eh eh
Tell em where the blue pill comes from yet again tell em how they euthanized half of the caribbean
Build another warship point it at the shipyard point it at the big dog riding in the cop car
What you got a kid scared do a little drone work sell it like it a bandaid mean it like a massacre
New line bump stock cedar wood vetiver tall guy talks a lot thinlip metaverse
I know that it gets worse could be in a warzone hey guys what you doing chewing on a pork bone
Buz it's sue
I know you love me
Me too
I know it's ugly buz
It's dust to dust
It's some of what we hoped it'd be and none of what they said it was
It's ever-present misdirected blame the wavy lame erections
Blame the work for resurrecting every shim they plumbed the shed with
From the dead lift comes the wreckage real estate and dumb confessions
Nation of the rich and famous turning brown kids into bacon
Fixing bets and soulless sex and mattresses the bleach erases
Guts and piss and blood and shit and crying out from human cages

Then it broke and chemicals got all over the birds
You should've seen how mad we were

I know he says
I know she says too
Then fireworks turned into the air
And all that's left
Was all that's there
All that's left
Was all that's there
All that's left
Was all that's there
All that's left
Was running scared
River water teeming in the gleaming of the summer
In the ever-present kind of wonder something mournful swimming under
Singing out like wind and thunder
Gather now around together
Look out kids we're getting weather
I have thought of leaving i wont blame you if you do
I live here sue he says
She looks at him i live here too
