lyrics

Our dear homie Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball years ago sent us a track under the alias “slaughter beach, dawg” and I thought “weird name, cool song”. Fast forward a GP’s and I’m proud to say he’s a true symptom of the mne fever and a bright constellation the the GP lexicon. If you slept on his first full length “Welcome” earlier this year then, if I were the type of person to call other people names, you are a fool.

"i open my eyes and it's november and i'm in a freight elevator
and i'm in las vegas but i haven't won any money
and everyone here is wearing clothing that i find confusing
and i wonder if they've won any money

jeff tells me it's not the drugs
it's monday morning and you can't get up
when your degree is staring daggers from the wall
but somewhere sunk inside your heart
there is a teensy tiny part

of you that sure could use some coffee

i open my eyes and i am sweating. i must have been dreaming
that punch i threw was just embarrassing
all my dreams are always violent but i'm not violent
so in my dreams i'm not so good at fighting

there's this one where you and i
are making brilliant love inside
a 7-11 outside the city
and i can't save us when that guy
gets up and jumps out from behind
the counter, gun in hand and grinning

tell my sister i am with her wherever she may go
if not pulpit then sure as shit, where she leads i'll follow
watch the corn grow in ohio, let our kids grow strong and smart
playing intramural sports while we build the ark"
