Bassackwards

Lyrics

I was on the beach but I was thinking about the bay
 Got to the bay but by then I was far away
 I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun
 But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one
 For a while
 For because it was an all-burning feeling in my chest
 To fill the void
 Of a long night unwatched by, well, the sun
 Until the morn
 Until when, well, the sun's reborn
 And so am I
 From all the scorn buried deep
 Within the psyche of my soul
 I was standing down but I was also on the run
 In my mind
 ♪
 I was on the radio talking with a friend of mine
 There was no format because well, we like it like that
 He was out of his mind and I was way out of mine
 Then everything went backwards
 With words coming out
 Bassackwards
 And I appreciate him to the utmost degree
 ♪
 I was on the beach but I was thinking about the bay
 Got to the bay but by then I was far away
 I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun
 But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one
 For a while
 To fill the void
 Until the morn
 Then everything went backwards
 I mean, phrases flying out
 Bassackwards, yeah
 ♪
 I was on the moon but more so, I was in the grass
 So I was chilling out but with a very drifting mind
 So I was on the ground circa planet earth
 But outta sorts, but I snapped back, baby
 Just in time to jot it down and come around
 It's always nice to see you
 And I came around
 It's always nice to see you here when I come around
 Or when I'm plain come, comin' down
 Then everything goes backwards
 I mean, everything moving out
 Then everything goes backwards
 I mean, everything oozing out
 Bassackwards
 (Strummin' a Chet Atkins)
 I was standing up
 But you know I hate to still stoop you down
 To my level
 ♪
 Bassackwards
 And I appreciate her to the utmost degree
 ♪
 Then everything went backwards
 I mean, words coming out
 Bassackwards, yes
 It's just the way things is these days
 ♪
 Just the way they come out these days
 Just the way things come out
 ♪
 Yeah, come on
 ♪
 To the utmost degree
