lyrics

I have slept underneath bridges, on the sidewalk, in cold places
Bright lights, fireworks, the casino is my stage
I thought that it was still summer, I forgot to wear a sweater

When I sleep it rains and when I sleep it pours
this is where I go to remember where I came from

Do you know about determination, I'm just waiting for
Do you know something about patience, I'm just waiting for these clouds to break

When I sleep it rains and when I sleep it pours, this is where I go to remember where I came from

Fall asleep in an American flag and I don't like the people but I love the land oh
Do you know about determination, I'm just waiting for
Do you know something about patience, I'm just waiting for these walls to break

And I feel so good, yeah it makes me glad I can share this with everyone else

Bright lights, fireworks, the casino is my stage

Dark, wild, and primal. My favorite thing to come out this year. Velvet Bethany

Brown Sugar "Tropical Disease" EP
by Brown Sugar

Would it be too much for me to petition the Sweet Water Pink Boat riff be played at every Bills game into the future as it may accurately translate into a cosmic derivative of "Let's go Buffalo"? Velvet Bethany
