Oyster Lyrics

Carl movin' Carla out his Montecarlo

Out to soccer moms who carpool out in Colorado

Cut his teeth on Parliaments courtesy of tar smoke

His lungs on charcoal but the diamonds sparkle, baby

Saw him on his six speed, wondered if he gargled

I was fucking sixteen, everything was carnal

Suburban tarpit, we were part, we were parcel

Tire marks on the asphalt, eight years old playing cowgirl

Merry go, riding around on the carousel

Marigolds like emeralds on my turf

Neighbourhood like Mister Rogers

Rogers, Rogers

Oyster world but I ain't like pearls, like pearls

Neighbourhood like Mister Rogers, Rogers

Oyster world but I ain't like pearls like pearls

Yeah, just like Mister Rogers, Rogers

Oyster world but I ain't like pearls, like pearls

Tomboy fronting like I ain't like like, like girls

Oyster world but I ain't like

Pearls

I remember city lights was always flickering

And my life was a revolving door

Of revolver women

They tried to catch me lacking

Silverback stacks, three stacking

Stashed in boxes that should have the Air Maxes

Mattress has been getting fatter

Wisconsin, Lonestar, them my alma matter

Want a ranch in Ruby Valley with the cattle

Greener pastures, blue rock, opened up the chakras

Eyes open, nose clean, still singing ballads

Fever pitch, I'll make a glass house shatter

I felt as big as God when I lost heaven

Got a sawed off shotgun but she all velvet

My girl all gun, all assault weapon

In a crushed blue tux leaving bomb fragments

We'll be sawdust in the cosmos one day

But for now we eat pasta al dente

And the sauce from a jar but

We pretend its authentic goddamn it

I remember city lights the most cause they were always flickering

Every time I'd be on the streetcar I'd get off at Carlton Cinema

I was renting an apartment in the Garden District

And my life was a revolving door of revolver women

And often, I mean often

I'd walk down Church Street with thoughts of sinning

I mean, it's an odd place to try and find God isn't it?
