"Carlton's Quest for Cement and Potatoes" by Grandpa Loves Rhinos

lyrics

I take it
I take it back
I take it that this had better be the last

“Nice guys finish last”, that’s what you always think
But this ain't no race now baby

No need to dust yourself off baby
Dirty is your middle name
And pterodactyls are only bad for your health
When you call them nasty names

Be the lightning be the lift
And ill stay the hypocrit hypogriff
We could be so much better than this
right now, I could be so much better than this

Oh God I’m better than this
Oh God I’m better than this

Its gone its gone too far gone
Don’t trust myself I’m too far away
Help Is on the way
But I’ll be home some day
I take it, I take it
Trust is a base cannot be replaced,
someday we will build but right now the bridge just burns away

I’m scared that I’m not scared
And I’m scared 'cause I should feel something

Buzzing bee, whisper to keep the secrets from us
You imply your honey is sweet
Crystallize the trick and the size
A faker, a cheat, who knew the person inside you was me?
A simple sorry I hope is enough
I forced down your poison when it came back up
Shells hit the bridge destroying our home
But if you bring the mortar, then ill bring the stone

Oh God we’re better than this
Oh God we’re better than this

Flip the switch just to melt the ice
But when it goes up in smoke, the flames will look too nice
We can do better

Grandpa Loves Rhinos Idaho

Brotherly duo Paul (drums) and Seth (guitar/bass/vocals) Hyde, and their jobs in the Air Force have forced them to live hundreds of miles away from each other, separated by mountains, valleys, and creatures of the deep. Although distance plagues Grandpa Loves Rhinos, their desire to create music burns eternal--GLR creates music in correspondence of a blend of modern rock, pop punk, and emo. ... more
