Aren't Ready For The Country

The Diableros Aren't Ready For The Country歌詞
1.Up In The Mountain Range

When the daylight gets drowned under
The shadow of your second home
And when you can't see past the memories
Pushing you to take this role
You're lost in the desert winds
Where generations come undone
Tried by a magazine
Shooting down what you've done wrong

Our blood won't drip down
If we don't get up
Our position stays soft
Up in the mountain range
You could have a think about it

When you're over making sense and
The rhetoric is on your back
When the fire's burning smolders
Following another attack
You're caught in a raging state
Where animosity displays
Stumbling on TV we wait
For the day that you fall down


2.Ever Changing

I got the minions
I've got them all on my side
But in this dominion
You can't wait to be tied

To the rails
You know what I'm thinking, babe
It's time we got along
Way out
To the west
The frontier's ever changing
Well it only takes hours
But we've been gone for days
We've been gone for days

I heard opinions
I had them all in my mind
They turned to oblivion
On a wild train riding high

On the rails
You know what I'm thinking, babe
It's time we got along
Way out
To the west
The frontier's ever changing
Hey it only takes hours
But we've been gone for days
We've been gone for days


3.Nothing Down In Hogtown

Isn't there any other way
How to pull my weight around?
I don't ask for sympathy
I just need to work
Where I can be proud
I've been talking to deities
Checking the rags and searching the grounds
But I am bound
To the windbags

And I don't wanna sing that song
Sounding hardcore
For nothing down
Down in Hogtown
It's just a system that's built up
To fuel the strong
And I'm not ready for the country
High up above

I've been pouring my energy
Into a vat and sipping it down
Now I can breathe properly
And don't I have to carry a crown
So I'll take this liberty
I'll wear an axe, I'll make a vow
If you watch my back
When the sun downs


4.Any Other Time

You got held up
I got the afternoon
Is it enough
To really give up on you
Now we are lost
In bipolar karmic feuds
Nothing to discuss
But I know that
Any other time I'd make like I've been a fool

I've been a fool

You got the crush
That gives me that sanctitude
Is it enough
When I'm left in solitude
Sweeping the dust
Paying the proper dues
Reneging bluffs
And I know that
Any other time I'd make like I've been a fool

I've been a fool

I hear it's all
In the heart
We should take the time that we get
to give out
When it is gone
When we're apart
I'll try to work without regret
And carry a charge
I'll try to work without regret
And carry a charge


5.Turning Backwards

Regretful hands grip the rounds
While we're off out of town
With only a bottle and some
Trouble clasping good sounds
I find it hard to get by
Only once in a while
When I'm leaving my silence behind

When you have gone insane
And you see it in your eyes
Well it's only dark in corners of your mind
Blue rivers in your veins
Can carry thoughts downstream
To valleys where branches
Can grow again

Through hazy skies
Come golden rays of light
They can only take my mind
Where trails of smoke unwind

I can hear the clock tower's
Turning backwards
Chiming to a time
I was waiting there outdoors
I dwelled under those stars
How we'd never be as far
As far apart as lights
In the dark above


6.Mist

My party died
And then so did you
They didn't say much together
White mist over dew

I remember your honey
And ice pickles too
I remember the jewellery
And merry cackles you made

So here's our goodbye
It's long overdue
I can't speak forever
And I can't blame what's true
I'll just say that I'm sorry
For the pains that broke you
And I'll just say I'm happy
For all the things you gave
And merry cackles you made


7.Telepathic Love

Would you send a message via telepathic line?
Send it now, 'cause I'm feeling so deprived...
But I can't get through...what am I gonna do?

Could you tell me something without saying a word?
Touch me once without being too observed
Could you give me something without giving a blink

Telepathic affair
Telepathic affair

Send a message via telepathic
Send it now.. don't make it tragic
But if I can't get through...what am I gonna do?

Could you tell me something without saying a word
Touch me once without being too observed
Could you give something without giving a blink

Telepathic affair
Telepathic affair


8.Kicking Rocks

I've got my bastion
You've got your shell
You're always pushing
On what you dwell
So I've been thinking
What's up with that?
You've got your shanty
I've got my camp

You rarely mention
The broader facts
You sing your siren
We get used to that
We open building doors
for working class
You step in the way
Of Cadillacs

You're only kicking rocks from the eaves
And your aim is high
I see you hanging like a scarecrow
When your fields are dry
You're only kicking rocks from the eaves
And you aim too high
I get up and fill my haymow in the morning

I hear the reverends
Whining in the back
I wished I had a czar
Just to deal with that
I've got to move on
And cut the slack
Two point five million
Won't hold me back

When will you light my soul?
The city nights are cold
When will you light my soul?

I don't care how punk rock you want to be
It just doesn't mean anything here to me
I don't care how punk rock you want to be
It just doesn't mean anything


9.Left From The Movies

On this sober dawn
The steam is rising
All of my friends have gone
And I'm firefighting
As I stand on your lawn
I remember slightly
How the flames lit up your songs
How the sparks surprised me

And it made a wonderful sound
I couldn't believe how loud
It felt like I had
Just left from the movies
So I recorded what I'd found
Only to lock it away
But not anymore
Now it's all coming through me

We wrote you a birthday song
With the brothers beside me
But I couldn't play along
You were upstairs hiding

Then I was led astray
Walked by the hand to a place
Far from your way
A set up fool can think he's on holidays
Don't think he's on holidays
Don't think he's on holiday


10.No One Wants To Drive

The night we took the car without telling your dad
Thoughts of not coming back, the best dreams we ever had
Houses in Amherst spaced out like the waitress' teeth
Who served us coffee on the way to a useless beach

Kids in the parking lot just barely getting by
Since the cops found your stash and this whole town's run dry
Kids in the parking lot and no-one's getting high
I want to leave this town but no-one wants to drive

'Cause it's no home, just miles of road, miles of road
I'm going back but not going home

Sometimes your looks at me remind me of your mom
Back in my high school days when Suzie was the bomb
That summer seventy that I spent getting high
I want to leave this town but no-one wants to drive


11.Broken Barns

Tonight he's gonna break your heart
You knew he'd stray afar
Ooo
Three days' drive in a car and
He's still what he used to be
So goodbye
Sometime we'll play guitars

Can't the fields just catch your eye
Broken barns of intent
If it's not your sunshine
What could be..

So California knows
How to treat a brother's soul
I haven't been yet but I'd like to go
Your California knows
How to shake off all your woes
Below the ocean's undertow

I remember getting high
On the second floor
The skylight office sport
Ooo
At barbeques under stars
I'm still what I used to be
But tonight
I'm gonna break your heart

When you mix your business plans with mine
I never stop to question why
It happens less between us over time
We'll drink to what's left and feel fine
