Surf Music

Bit of nostalga for the old folks 



Dialogue

I'm advocating dark clothes

If I'm not alone

How long have I been asleep

As long as I have

Did you ever live in a drum?

No

Well then you aren't me

I only dreamed I lived in a drum

Ever since it got dark

Dreaming is hard

Yea, but with nothing over your head?

No just light over my head and underneath too

I don't think I could take it without anything over my head

M-M - ???

Well why don't you go out and see what's out there?

Well I don't know if that's what's out there.

That's a thought, if you'd like

Yes but still you can say darker and darker

I don't know what the outside of this thing looks like at all

I knew it's dark and murky

How do you get your water so dark?

Cause I'm paranoid

I'm very paranoid and the water in my washing machine turns dark out

of sympathy

Out of sympathy?

Yes

Um where can I get that?

At your local drug store

How much?

It's from Kansas

Dialogue

I worked in a cheesy newspaper company for awhile but that was terrible, 

I wasn't making enough money to build anything

Louie Louie

And then I worked in a printing company and a couple of gas stations. Oh 

at the gas station where I was working my brother had just gotten married 

and uh, he bought a new car and his wife was having a kid and all this 

miserable stuff and he needed a job so I gave him a job at the gas station 

of which I was fired because, you know, he was going to work there. 

And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing it and changing tires 

and everything all the time. And so then he got fired because he was 

goofing off, man, and he just kept taking parts and working on his car 

day and night. So he lost that job and I went to work in another gas station. 

He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that. Then 

I went to work in a aircraft company, and uh, I was building these planes. 

I worked on the XB-70, I was the last welder on there. Yea but, It was pretty 

good bread because I was making um, $2.71 an hour. I was making a 

hundred and a quarter a week, and uh, yea it was good enough money to 

be working on so I got an Oldsmobile, a groovy Olds. But I was going with 

this chick at the time. By the time I got the olds running decently, she went 

out and tore up the engine, and the trans and let her girlfriends get in there 

and booze it up and tare up the seats. They ripped the seats completely out. 

So uh, I got a '56 olds, which was this one chick I was going with, and uh 

we used to drive out all over the place and finally she got rid of that and uh, 

I got another pickup.
