Kick (341/365)

And now for a break from regularly scheduled programming - today I attended a fundraising lunch for the St. Joseph's Children's Hospital Foundation featuring a fabulous fashion show complete with santa rockettesque dancers.

 

ALKALINE TRIO - "Kick Rocks"

 

You take these sticks and stones

And apply what you have learned

But you ain't got no water

So you let that motherfucker burn

 

Yea it smoked up and it burned out

Like a graduation bonfire two miles from your house

And you had nowhere to go, so you came right back here

I couldn't find what you wanted, so you slapped me in the face and spilled my beer

 

And when the mess dried up you came up singing,

 

Let us drink from the hourglass

We can make time stop

Watch from the window upstairs

While they all kick rocks

 

And I miss smoking in the fall

And pissin' on that gas station wall

What's a law? What's a fire? What's a river?

We jumped over them all

 

But I guess my legs got tired and my teeth got long

 

So take a sip from the hourglass

We can make time stop

Watch from the window upstairs

While they all kick rocks

 

I tried to write you a passage

But you're holdin' out for the flick

Wait outside by the exit

When they don't let you in

 

So we can drink from the hourglass

We can make time stop

Watch from the window upstairs

While they all kick rocks
