Chimney Rock - Telethon

1−2 what are you gonna do

Can’t just squander aimlessly

No rest, probably in your best

Interest to search underneath

The 40 foot high waves and all that tend to rock the boat

The serpentine plate backed beasts will shake you clean

Or so they told you

Building up your database of everyone who ever wronged you

The hep cats who didn’t watch your set to the chick who sold you percodan off

of 29

With the face tat of birds flyin', hadn’t seemed to heal quite right and

You can drop them

They forgot

They could be dead or southern baptist;

flat earthers, fraught

Won’tcha

Fold in on your alibis now

Move in, apply pressure, and let ‘em bleed out

On down the road you’ll have to lighten your load

Or chimney rock will be the last stop that you ever call home

Brass tacks:

Where do you go to relax

To free your conscience of quandaries

A brand new studio is right on your street where you can

Sign up to sit comfortably

And the room files in;

sun salute the doyenne

Couple candles lit, lids closed but

I’m peeking, i’m peeking, god only knows that i’m peeking and

I’m taking mental note of the folks without a heavy set a guilt & dread

As we bend our legs in front of our heads, try to read their palms,

try to read their minds

From a distance.

it’s easy if you know what you’re trying to find

Look to buy higher power or guidance

Get in quick and toss the bags out from under the eyes

Alright

Fold in on your bottom half now

Breathe in. when you do, don’t forget to breathe out

Watch the tone as you hang up your foam roll

Fake it till you make it so they leave you alone

Oh, i just don’t know

Where do all these people go

The stepford vibes are bubbling up so slow

Suspicious as it sounds

They were lost but now are found

In a church of inner peace

With a monthly and annual fee

You’re being unfair

Got your mind made up and you lead

You get off on a rebuttal prepared

No matter to you: the only audience listening

Lean in, buddy, what are you scared of?

Your minivan’s

Custom tint on the side

Why’d you pay more for that if you truly got nothing to hide

Your family;

friends, they’ll keep you in the clear

Fact is you’ve no idea earthly idea who you’re dealing with here
