Explaining Cricket

(album: Convicts - 2006)

Ya know my three best friends were drummers
Yeah, when I still had a face
Just like a pizza slice
I knew my Zildjians from my paradiddle
Plug straight into the stereo
Watch the damn thing blow

Yeh orchy bottle bongs and rocket fuel
While leaves gather in the corner of the pool
But now my words the6yre drownin in the amber again
It's like explainin cricket to Americans
Just tryin to get a hold
The whole damn thing, oh oh oh

Weekend experimentation
Now you need laxidation
Where did we all get the need for the daily medication?
Now my words they're drownin in the liquor again
It's like explaining cricket to Americans
Just tryin to get a hold of
The whole damn thing, oh oh oh oh

Oh, I love this 'cos we never had a clue
Damn our cynicism and the truth
But now my words they're drownin in the amber again
It's like explaining cricket to Americans
I'm just tryin to get a hold
The whole thing really

So, this is the twilight
Of our youth
I wrote jingle
Let us show the truth
Let them eat cherries
