Moss Park

lyrics

Verse 1
You can learn a lot about life, from Moss Park
I’m 20 years in, still scared of the dark
I’ve seen it all, I sleep under the lights
I’ve got scars from the tar and the bites from the night
Alright
It’s alright

I sleep in late on the grass, when its nice
The park bench baby, when the air is ice
Breakfast is hot, handout church rice
Begging and scrounging, men are mice
Rise and shine, crack a beer
365 Saturdays a year

Chorus
Im starvin'
I can not eat no more
Im lyin'
I can not cheat no more
Im beggin
I can not keep no more
My sole, my will, my heart, I’m living dark

Man I’m living dark in Moss park man
I live in the dark
I live in the d-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ark

Verse 2
I’m fucked up man, beyond belief
I’m quiverin shiverin, there is no relief
I’m on the shady, side of the street
I’m starched, I’m parched,
Barely out of the heat
I just collapsed, will awake all confused
Cant remember if I was just fucked up or abused
I go hard, I go high
I chirp at the passers, on the sides
Wear a hat that reads " too high to die"

Chorus
Im starvin'
I can not eat no more
Im lyin'
I can not cheat no more
Im beggin
I can not keep no more
My sole, my will, my heart - I’m living dark

Man I’m living dark in Moss park man
I live in the dark
I live in the d-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ark

It’s get-ting dark
It’s time

Rare Americans Vancouver, British Columbia

Not crooked in the sense we’re criminals, in fact we barely have a speeding ticket between us. Crooked in the sense that we see the world a little crooked, we tell stories with slants. We sing for characters who rarely take the straight path.
