about

This was recorded out in Oregon and written around the zany drum beat that the drum machine was spitting out. I wasn't good at programming it and would just write around whatever it played... kinda sounds like Cristian and Kyle.! This song made it on to Back To The Beach, but this version is so jacked up and beautiful with slightly different lyrics. It was a sketched out birds view of a quick moving coast, no doubt.

lyrics

Runnin down to the coast to count people
Many as I could through the peep hole.
dudes and girls out in the surf on their backs
when the waves attack.
goin down to the beach to the pop sand
where i get a piece of the kilo
aren't we so chocked full of life?
do the sunrise with closed eyes.
hurry down to the coast out of season.
don't need no goddamn reason
I'm just so full of life
