Back to the Land – Harvey Dog (2015)

Back to the Land - drawing by Harvey Dog 2021

It’s ok it’s alright (6x)
It’s ok it’s alright (4x)

I’m swimming in anxiety
I’m paranoid of reality
I’m suspicious of fantasy
I’m still looking for ecstasy

I’m looking at dust particles
and reading rock’n’roll articles
I’m believing in the rhetorical
and revising the historical

rolling on the floor
rolling my joint
I’m looking towards the door
I’m missing the point (2x)

What did I say?

rolling on the floor
rolling my joint
I’m looking towards the door
I’m missing the point (2x)

Here it comes – the breakdown (haha)

I’m making bacon in the middle of the night (2x)
all I hear is the sizzle of the schnizzle
louder and louder and louder and louder
and louder and louder and louder
booming down the hallway
into every apartment
into every ear
the sizzle of the schnizzle
is getting me in trouble…trouble (4x)

rolling on the floor
rolling my joint
I’m looking towards the door
I’m missing the point (2x)

it’s the last day of the carnival
back to the land, we go…
back to the land, we’ll go..
we go.
