Deep Kick lyrics

It started when we were

Little kids free spirits but

Already tormented by our own hands

Given to us by our parents we got together

And wrote on desks and slept in laundry

Rooms near snowy mountains & slipped through

Whatever cracks we can find minds altered

We didn't falter in portraying hysterical

And tragic characters in a smog filled

Universe we loved the dirty city and the

Journeys away from it we had not yet been

Or seen our friends selves chase tails round

And round in downward spiral leaving trail

Of irretrievable vital life juice behind still

The brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz

Was impenetrable

And we lived inside it laughing with no clothes

And everything experimental 'till death was

Upon us in our face mortality and

Lots of things seemed futile then but

Love and music can save us and did while

The giant grey monster grew more poisoned

And volatile around us jaws clamping down

And spewing ugly shit around nothing

Is the same so we keep moving.

Went off and got some hair cuts

Lookin' wild & got all drugged up

Hopped a train into the night

Got a ride with a transvestite

Two boys in San Francisco

Two boys in San Francisco

Blasted off in a BART bathroom

Those coppers woke us up

Motherfuckers woke us up

Two young brothers on a hover craft

Telepathics love and belly laughs

Storm the stage of Universal

Slim shine talk box go subversal

Papa's proud and so he sent us

Pounding hearts full and relentless

Two boys in London, England

Two boys in London, England

Climbing out of hostel windows

Wearing gear so out but in though

Come on kid and do the no no

Two young brothers on a hover craft

Telepathics, love and belly laughs

We went to Fairfax High School

Jumped off buildings into their pools

We'd sit down and grease at Canters

Run like hell they can't catch us

Two boys in L.A. proper

Two boys in L.A. proper

Stealin' anything that we could

Gotta sneak into the Starwood

Gotta peak into the deep good

I remember 10 years ago

In Hollywood we did some good

And we did some real bad stuff

But the Butthole Surfers

Always said it's better to regret

Something you did

Than something you didn't do

We were young and we

Were looking for the deep kick...

Seen 'em come seen

'Em

Go
