johnny carson's beard 04:00
lyrics
buy track
this whole world is winding down johnny carson's got a beard it's his subtle way of telling all of us that things are getting weird but it's all right now the sun is going down and at least he knows the truth he's playing golf while i'm driving off to work trying to figure it all out and on the 9th hole he lights a cigarette i'm still on the 605 but it's all right now the sun is coming up and at least we know the truth i haven't been the same since 1992 the barometer is gone the waves come breaking in somewhere in malibu i hope he's doing fine cause i'm all right now the surf is coming up and i'm not so down knowing he's in town and at least i know the truth

happy endings 04:57
lyrics

there is a play i know the ending i've seen it before i bought my ticket i fastened my seatbelt i know what's in store we have no happy endings we have no easy answers we are stifled into sadness by this skin to skin madness you call love young lovers in lust grapple in the dark they don't know they're finding shelter in seduction they don't know you play your games and wander into bars on a saturday night it's time to make your move alright it's time to get serious before it's too late it's already too late chorus
