HEALMODE

(альбом: Hellmode - 2023)

I never thought I'd say it
But it's hard to hate the rain
In California
The air is cold and blurry
As it presses the pine needles
To your car
Tumbleweeds roll through the
Shopping malls and parking lots of
Supermarkets
Everyone is inside
Watching movies on their TVs
Staying warm
The street outside is flashing
Underneath infrequent bursts
Of glaring headlights
Moving like a glacier
Or careening like a drunkard
Towards the trees
Flick my shitty lighter
And pull smoke from the one-hitter
On the doorstep
Blow into the fog
And listen to the paradiddles
On the leaves

When it's gone
The air will clear
And we'll have
So much more to see
The stores will
Be filled up with
People trying to
Buy their groceries

For now I'm standing in the moonlight
Wondering when will this all be
Over
I'm wondering if it really doesn't
Matter what I do or what
I say
I'm wondering if the neighborhood
Coyotes found a good place to
Take cover
And if it's gonna be another
Fourteen months before it really
Rains

When it's gone
The air will clear
And we'll have
So much more to see
The construction
Will continue
And the power tools
Will screech

And cars will cram the street
And that's just fine with me
'Cause I will stay with you
Not do a single thing
All day with you
And hunker down after the
Storm is through

Perfect lazy days are all you
Need is me and all I need is
You
Perfect chatty days are all you
Need is me and all I need is
You
Perfect rainy days are all you
Need is me and all I need is
You
Perfect lazy days are all you
Need is me and all I need is
You
You
