Beach Side Property Lyrics - This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About - Modest Mouse

"Wow," said the broken Californian down 

On the beach that used to be by the beach 

Town hasn't moved but's gettin' closer, losin' ground 

Makin' better views and close relaxin' sounds 

Ground sure don't like the way it's treated so now 

It's movin' back to the sea 

Plan to hitch a ride with the river 

'Cause deep down plumbin' life is too cramped for me 

I got wood legs and bow legs and no legs at all 

Goddamn, would you take a collect call? 

Oh no, I don't understand 

I got poor eyes and sore eyes and no eyes at all 

Goddamn would you take a fall? 

Oh no, I don't like this plan 

It was a staple of brass tacks and waxed backs 

Oh yeah, a message left on the forehead of God 

Sent sealed and signed by the saints who sang this song 

This song, this song 

We're goin' union like they say 

We'll buy the congregation 

Then one day, you'll find us sittin' 

In your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares 

We're goin' union like they say 

We'll buy the congregation 

Then one day, you'll find us sittin' 

In your chairs with big ideas of stocks and shares
