LYRICS
The winter's wet, and the summer's hot
Take a match in Puerto Rico, why not
Power and adrenaline flowing like amber
From the recesses of the earth, put on your waders
And twitch when the water runs high sometimes
Twitch when the tide ebbs low
See the sights, maybe go downtown
Sometimes you get some heat, sometimes it follows you around
When the blade hits the bone, everybody hears it sing
Shower room full of people, no one hears a goddamned thing
A twitch when the current runs wild sometimes
Twitch when the contact howls
All that racket out there in the arena
I'm on a stretcher, here come the cleaners
And the sky goes dark and there I am
Climbing down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
I drop from the top of my tall steel cage
Drop to the concrete floor

if Gabriel’s Trumpet sounds like that sax I’ll go to the rapture willingly

[@Scottacus96]

These sessions have been incredible, thank you for sharing the music with us. It's so cool seeing you all have so much fun together

[@bigtimechunk723]

This is maybe my favorite version of this song I’ve heard and it’s hard to beat the album version! Im grateful that these sessions are being made public, I was so conflicted on buying the sessions because I’ve been so tight but now I can hear them and wow! My favorite band.
