SONG LYRICS 

Get a load of that with the snakeskins on 

Looks like a refugee from a head bangin' song 

Sweet July evening, seems all the world we've ever known 

Is here at the breaker, shakin' them restless bones 

Brown baggin' as the music's draggin' on a cheap cassette machine 

Honey, I know no matter where we go 

We're gonna keep us a piece of this routine 

Chorus: 

Like a rembrandt.... 

A one of a kind in a shades-of-grey world 

Like a rembrandt, baby....... 

A genuine find in a come and go swirl 

World's in the moonlight, there's diamonds in the coal 

Layin' on my hood we're runnin' soul in soul 

Yellin' out my name, I think I know who that was 

This moment's got me higher than a black coffee buzz 

Come on girl, you can call your boss and fake a case of the flu 

You and me, we can cast some shadows 

In that nightlight your mama left on for you 

Repeat Chorus 

Drinkin' domestic on a night as majestic 

As a true hell raiser's bliss 

Every workin' day they take a little more away 

But they don't know of a social affair as redeeming as this 

Same tapes as last week, but that makes 'em cool 

Same grooves, same times, drives the social tool 

If this here is heaven then the saints are reelin' 

Some of them crawlin' on a tall grass ceilin' 

Honey, if life don't give us any more - it gave us a season 

To groove 'neath the stars at the number 9 breaker 

Not askin' for answers or reasons 

Repeat Chorus 

END
