Why Did You Miss It?

I invented a taste
I invented a good thing, and it's a rhythm
This is out of our reach
This is out of our reaching out of our rhythm
Why did you miss it?
Fucked up with that fire he missed
Fast steppa scratch that boy off the list
Time was we forgot he exist
And I swear it's all for the best
Come boy, pick up your feet
Start movin put your vibe on delete
Time was, get ya ass off my street
And it's all going down exactly how I said
Why did you miss it?

Swamp

I live in a crazy swamp just about in the crotch of America
Smells like ket and two piece chicken
And the air's all made of bacteria
Out here sinkin, sinkin in the wettest feeling
It's crazy going down in the swamp
I know I'm decomposing, I'm decomposing how I want
And I saw in my vision on the wet old road
I saw em sinkin
Saw em decompose
Iced coffee in a plastic cup and they swear they'd be gone for a little while
Went walkin into the swamp and I fear they've been sinkin into the mire
At the bridge round three in the morning throwin pennies at the old alligator
If he doesn't eat on me now he's sure gonna eat on me later

Florida Water Blues
03:44
|
|||
|
You've had about a hundred beers of solitude
Since ya get outta pocket when you're feelin' rude
But lucky for you they won't remember it
After all you're just a person, who doesn't know shit
We get everything we have by the grace of heaven
I think in the line at the 7-11
They'll probably catch me thinkin on the CCTV
Cuz there in my pocket were a couple of things
Midnight peach and silver fish
Are setting like the sun
And a flask of rubbing alcohol
Makes riot on the tongue
The bugs will crawl into the hall
Until the bottle's done
Then you can ride down old good children
With the coke and with the rum
Then you can drink that Florida water and go blind
The sun and the rain make a golden shower
And I would drink it all if I had my power
Then I'd open right up like a little flower
But first a little stop at the happy hour
Life is short
Filled with stuff I know what it's for I've had about enough
Little midnight peach says she likes it rough
So I need Florida water just to make me tuff
It'll make me tuff

Guided Thunder

|
You could be moved with a guided thunder
If you let go and it takes you over
No I won't appeal to your better nature
Cuz there is nuthin better in the hole of nature
I know you're wetter than a drownin fish
So I'm coming right over just to eat your dish
I'm guided
With a guided thunder
You could be moved with a guided thunder
I'm like Moses when I split the waters
I know you better than my favorite dish
So I'm coming right over just to grant your wish
I know ya wetter than a drownin fish
So I'm coming right over just to shake my fist

Top of the world on the old highway
Top of the world on the old hwy
First ya get a slice of pizza at the pan of gold
Then ya pay 40 dollars just to drink a toe
But I did not have a cowboy hat
So I bought a bag of weed at Tortilla Flat
We're livin on top of the world
I can see the frost is melting, we're living on top of the world
There's holes in the road like it's New Orleans
But it's five whole dollars for a can of beans
So you get instead a can of the Kokanee
So come across the river and bring it all to me
It's top of the world highway no. 2
Driving thru the fire was a burning view
I was driving thru the smoke just to get to you
So ya won't have to paddle on your own canoe

Concealed Weeping
02:26
|
|
||
|
It’s a flavor that’s allergic to taste
If you have it it’s ok to waste
…..and they don’t have to wait
And they open the gate gate open
Gate open
Open
Little fucker with a big attitude
Did not socially integrate to the school
Did not get in the deep end of the pool
Was not considered super duper cool
So get in the mix
Pick up sticks
You participate
In your fate
Weepin
Weepin
Weepin
Concealed weepin
Tears within tears
False grief masks real grief
Denied physical expression
You might catch a case of depression
From black to gray to gray to white
There’s a night in the day and a day in the night
Opposites create one another
And it makes you feel like you’d rather not bother

Riding
03:53

Thru the vessel is traveling is traveling a shake
Riding on a high and windy wave
Trouble coming and it’s coming in a wave
Sail all your troubles
Troubles away
Riding out on a high windy wave
Rocking and rollin
Out in the breaks
On a high windy wave
Weather’s pushing and you’re pushing it away
Riding…
Put up your sail at the bottom of the wave
Riding on a high and windy wave

Blacken my boots
Minding my business
Stay in your lane
Out of my business
Chewing your ice
Healing your sickness
Stay in your lane
Out of my business
One old lady
In my vicinity
How did such a person
Lose her virginity
She got a tongue
And she knows how to use it
She’s got power
All she does is abuse it
Chewing your ice
Healing your sickness
Stay in your lane
Out of my business
Butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth
Why the fuck did I come back south
Little tiny person big ole mouth
Chewing on ice
With your big ol mouth
Telling rumors
Telling lies
That’s why nobody fucks with you whenever you don’t have a prize
Tell your stories
To anybody listening
They’re sincere people, and you keep on deceiving em
Say the words enough times
People start believing em
You say you love Jesus
Never heard of forgiveness
You say you are radical
Only in self interest
So stay in your lane
And get outta my business

Javelina
02:49
|
|

|
Brush strokes striking on a painted leather
I was stuck on a stick in the painted desert
And hiding behind the body of a javelina
I don’t know when the arrow struck ya
But the hunter is coming and he tryna fuck ya
He wants to hunt you down like a javelina
They hunt em just to kill em and they don’t even bother to grill em
The hunters just like killing it is their pastime
I don’t know when the arrow struck ya
Fucked shit happened and I couldn’t protect ya
So run away thru the desert on a javelina
It’s more than a word
I’m dreaming
I’m dreaming
You’re gonna run away
Through the desert on a javelina
It’s been a little while since I haven’t seen ya
Cuz you ran thru the painted desert on a javelina
Javelina think a second for ya say your thought
But they’re gonna find out if you like it or not
The moment that they do they gonna knock an arrow
Poor javelina got a back full of arrows
Even though he stuck to the straight and narrow
That’s what it’s like in the desert
It’s the law of the jungle

Weather The Season
03:44
|
|
||
|
Seems so familiar
What it reminds me of
Cleaning the building
In a world inside
World of illusion
Veil of confusion on
Weather the season
Whether the time has come
There’s a reason it’s so easy to forget
It’s because of all concussion in your head
And they connect the dots to the arrow
And try to put it right thru your head
Out in the rowboat
In a confusion of words
They scramble the waters
Trying to row it with a sword
There’s a reason that you haven’t got it yet, it’s cuz they blocked all channels information gets

Dancing back to the city
Miserable every time
Dancer dancer
Getting all your money right
Somewhere over the rainbow
There’s another bow in behind
Dancer dancer
Dollar gonna soon arrive
To the left
To the right
To the pole
I’ve visions
With the flesh colored pleasers
Visions
Visions
Like the Oracle at Delphi
In the cave
Eating slime
Hear a voice comin out of time
Dancing back to the city
Miserable every time
Dancer dancer
Getting all your money right
Somewhere over the rainbow
There’s another bow in behind
Dancer dancer
Dollar gonna soon arrive
Shake it up
Mix it up
Change it up
Visions
Now you’re sweating with the oldies
Girl clean your fuckin room
Ya u rite it’s a curse
Yes the drapes match the sheets
Hold up a minute while I get some heat
I’ve seen where the sun goes down

Sun Go Down
05:09

9 lives has the cat
And the devil has hundreds
But I think that I only have one
I can smell situations
About to go south
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
The rivers of sin, mingle their waters
And the people all laugh as they drown
And the shady old monks, run off with all of your money
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
Who opened the cage
And let all the animals out
It’s fly away and go
And it’s oh no
We gotta go
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
I warned all the boys
But nobody’s listening
Authorities about to come round
When bright lights come on
The cockroaches scatter
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
Who opened the cage
And let all these animals out
Away now and go
Go away
We cannot stay
I’ve seen where sun goes down
Who opened the cage
And let all these animals out
Time to fly away and go
And it’s oh no
We got 2 goooo
I’ve seen where sun goes down
Two boys on a bridge
Throwing a fridge
Into the river in the center of town
And a car battery
Goes right in the sea
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
I warned the whole gang
But nobody’s listening
Authorities about to come round
When bright lights come on
The roaches are all scattering
I’ve seen where the sun goes down
Who opened the cage
And let all these animals out
Time to fly away and go
And it’s oh no
We got 2 goooo
I’ve seen where sun goes down

Twisted Teens New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans
If you like Florida Water Blues, you may also like:
supported by 184 fans who also own “Florida Water Blues”
A genuinely stunning album. It begs, almost demands, to be heard in its entirety. There's a cumulative effect that's hard to explain – an induced nostalgia for a time and place that never really was, a heartache for a person who only ever existed in a dream. It's a masterpiece.
go to album
supported by 144 fans who also own “Florida Water Blues”
Entirely familiar and entirely new at once, this is a record which succeeds where late era Radiohead fails. Incorporating some of the direction from Cam's solo project paid off big time, and Getting Killed is worth 110% of the hype.

After years of only have these sessions on a scratched unmixed CDr it's a sweet surprise to hear them loud and clear the way Steve and the band intended.
go to album
Rip-roaring garage rock from Brooklyn that is nervy and relentless and full of forward-hurtling momentum.

A vital record of post-punk offering fresh takes takes on Wire and No Wave dissonance a la Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.

I have, no joke, listened to this album over 25 times and still find something new to latch on to every listen. My favorite album of 2025 and one I’ll come back to for many years to come
