Stick Around

(Yeah, okay I heard the beep)
(Whitmer, I'm out here just riding around, uh, to hear from ya)
(Out here on the uh, radio scape, and uh, I'm here)
(Anyway, let me know where I'm supposed to go)
The moon hangs low
Over this playset town
Bathed in a jaundice glow
Your teeth are grinding down
You had your youth
Stayed underground
And all the accolades
They won't stop you now
You made me cry
My whole life
And we bought all your stock
Just stoke in the fire
Moon's gonna drop
On this playset town
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
Tides rolling in (hey brother)
And the jetty's glass
Dirty and desperate
In your alma mater hat
Searching the rocks
For a refry cig
The fish ain't biting on
Your rusty old jig
And you've got a kid now
And you named him Spike
Looks like a cartoon baby
He's the love of your life
You had your youth
But you're burnt out
Frosted flakes in a court case
Well, they won't help you now
Tides rolling in
Your head's hanging down
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
(Anyway, let me know)
The ink in your tongue
Ain't gonna dry out
And I just end up feeling sorry
For putting my foot down
And you never die
You'll never grow old
I hope you know
That you are rock 'n roll
But the trembling
Stops being cute
Humming to the rain
Clacking the mud off your shoes
I never get used to the sound
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
Man, I'd give anything for you to stick around
