Lyrics

WE?RE NOT DEAD YET
By David Caira and Anthony Resta

Hey jimmy this is Uncle Petey talking to you
Were all worried about you gettin messed up with the drinkin
Still got little Melissa to take care of
Appreciate you goin to California to find John
Watch your step in the desert towns on the edge of L.A.
Beware of ex cons and speed freaks that invite you back to the trailer to party

Town clock lit up in the distance I pulled in to meet the locals
?Hey bra were you from?
Boston.
?Boston-Matt Damon?s awesome Red Sox #1
Actually it?s Johnny-
?Party back at my place I got some ?ice? couple 19 year old girls come by to get high
My wife don?t mind she likes girls and she?ll like you
Wanna do my wife?
Nah??

CHORUS:
On La Brea see the sun set
La Cienga are we there yet?
See the melt down in this hell town
See the sun set, were not dead yet

Road to death is down hill lined with liquor stores,tobacco, poppy fields
If I live fast and stop at any of these the road only shortens
The road to one?s true self they say is uphill,rocky splits in different paths
Alone?.you never know if you?re on the right one until it?s too late

CHORUS

My new Cali pals got me to drink and inhale things Ive never had back home
We get to their trailer I say ?Were?s the girls?
And a dude comes out with a sod off 12 gauge
Hand over your wallet motherfucker no bitches comin over
You the bitch
No sheriffs patrol this wild west
And out comes duct tape oh shit

CHORUS

When I get int town I shine my flash light up at the clock
And see it hasn?t been lit in years
Maybee it was a moonlight mirage no one?s here
So I guess ther?s no robbery after all
Roll out the sleeping bag see stars ive never seen
Time to drink and think
Town clock was lit up by ghosts who saw me comin

They?re lonely just like you and me.
