Mission Rock Resort Lyrics

Let’s have a drink at the Mission Rock

watch the Oakland lights

across the dry dock

watch the blue, blue sky darken

like an inhalation

over the graveyard of ships

and your conversation



It’s sad when you try and manipulate me

it’s sad ’cause I don’t love you that way anymore

you’re worried if you remembered to use bleach

on a needle

well so what so what

so what so what

so we sit and watch the planes take off from Oakland

and circle gracefully

in a sky so royal and blue

they flash their lights like a jewel

in some pretender’s crown

then vanish forever

hey how’s your Margarita

you won’t be around very much longer



And our talk is useless

it only makes us seem clever

while nothing changes

while nothing changes

nothing changes nothing changes

not ever



If I could talk it out of you I would

if I could beat it out of you I would

but all I can do is

is follow stupidly behind

and watch you you walk

to the ocean in your mind

and there’s always more

always more ties you could sever

and nothing changes

while nothing changes

while nothing changes

and nothing changes

not ever
