The Ballad of Captain Chup (August Version) Lyrics

I was staying awake last night

Gripped by nostalgia the fight that comes in flight

I thought of days down on Beach Street

Memories held up on strings and wound ever so right

I was in the longest days I've seen

Dripping in summer aware of a grand finale

Many moments missing in the playback

But still remember the pizza from the bowling alley

Oh you don't know

Oh you really don't know

The movement of the undertow

The down below

And you never you will

Yeah you never will

Don't tell me its a whole thing whole thing whole thing yeah

Don't tell me that it's nothing nothing nothing nothing no

I was out late last night

Walking on dark streets cracks under my feet

Bridge over the Yuba in dreams

But it's me and a river the dream is incomplete

I was thinking about how funny it is

The nostalgia for things that I didn't grow up with

Regardless

I'm alive and awake somehow it's a goddamn miracle

One two three four five

Gone in a few seconds the grand design the drive

Catch me on the station tonight

Reporting on the longest summer of our lives

Don't tell me its a whole thing whole thing whole thing yeah

Don't say it like its nothing nothing nothing nothing no

Nothing nothing nothing no don't tell me its a whole thing

Nothing
