Ride This Sucker Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I like the idea that there's a God out there Who loves everybody and hears everybody's prayers Protects us from the storm of our own thoughts And forgives us even when we're jerks And I like the thought that there's spirits in rocks And in animals and trees and weeds and bones and beads And that everything that lives and is Just needs some love and attention And I'm in an airplane Praying that the bumps won't get as bad As the stories peoplе tell you Of the worst flights that they had Somе things are only in your mind Superstitious existential doubts And so I breath and drink and try not to think As I ride this sucker out [Verse 2] Well, there's cycles and there's rhythms And there's mood swings and there's schisms And there's words that once they're said They can never be erased And I find myself getting defensive In a pickle of misintentions And suddenly I'm mad and I don't even know why And I love you over and over But sometimes I'm just a fool Who'll say things to win an argument Though deep down I know they're not true Well it's lights out now in the dog house Is that what this was all about? When all I know is I don't want to be alone As I ride this sucker out [Verse 3] And the ants just keep invading Or maybe they're just parading And it's their world And we're just shifting landscapes and acts of God And I keep searching for good reasons To blame my feelings on the season 'Cause if the season's not the reason Then am I actually at fault? Some people build a framework And lock their thoughts inside I just grab at anything if it helps to ease my mind Imaginary mantra, mythic pretense If it works then let it count But either way, we're gonna be okay As we ride this sucker out [Outro] Ride this sucker out Yah! Ride this sucker out (out out out out) Ride this sucker out Ride
