The Dirty Heads - Dirty Heads Album Lyrics

---

That's All I Need

Yeah, every crack in the vinyl
takes me back into time
to where my Catalina idled
Spent my last buck on the title
of my first car, my first love,
where I got my first rub
Where we did our first drugs
And the bikers and the vatos that I grew up with
Try to steal up my zapatos
Now they give me shit for never being home
for parties and the weekend trips
Well f*ck it man
I'm comin' over man
I'll be there quick

You keep telling me to make it, yeah
To the spot where we would stay lit
A finished bottle's never wasted, yeah
Cause that's where I'm from

I'm feeling like old school, mixtape
That's all I need
I'm killing that low ride Sunday
That's all I need
Everybody sing, "oooh oooh oooh oooh"
There ain't no place I'd rather be
I'm talking bout right here, right now
That's all I need

Well this reminds me of a good time back in the day
Rolling through my neighborhood
Must've been a Sunday
Party with the Bad Seeds
pulling these rows singin' Scarlet Begonias
Cigarillos roll
The boxes in the back will make it sound so sweet
The dropped cadillac will make it bounce to the beat
I love the way it feels when the sun shines down on me

I'm feeling like old school, mixtape
That's all I need
I'm killing that low ride Sunday
That's all I need
Everybody sing, "oooh oooh oooh oooh"
There ain't no place I'd rather be
I'm talking bout right here, right now
That's all I need
That's all I need
That's all I need
Everybody sing

You keep telling me to make it, yeah
To the spot where we would stay lit
A finished bottle's never wasted, yeah
Cause that's where I'm from

I'm feeling like old school, mixtape
That's all I need
I'm killing that low ride Sunday
That's all I need
Everybody sing, "oooh oooh oooh oooh"
There ain't no place I'd rather be
I'm talking bout right here, right now
That's all I need

That's all I need
That's all I need

The Truth

Remember your armor before you start this war
Remember your honor before you close the door
I'm looking for answers that you'll never have
Wearing the colors of the rain, yeah

If you want me to believe
Then tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
First it was me, now you're saying it's you
Make up your mind
I'm done searching for clues
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Ask me more questions; I'll tell you no lies
Something's been stuck in the back of my mind
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

Remember what's spoken of boys and on their tongue
Choosing to forget all that's been done
I'm waiting for questions that you'll never ask
Wearing the colors of the rain, yeah

If you want me to believe
Then tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
First it was me, now you're saying it's you
Make up your mind
I'm done searching for clues
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Ask me more questions; I'll tell you no lies
Something's been stuck in the back of my mind
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

All my life I've been wil'in
Every day steady grindin'
Still chasing that dream
Destiny beyond the horizon
The real travel in silence, while the fake get loud and get violent
Keep my eyes close and my head down, but my speaker's standing behind it
I've seen what happens to dreams of people get lost and they get reminded that false people tell true lies and use flashing lights, so we blinded
So easy to be divided
So hard to stay steady minded
But I'm still here and I'm still strong
And I [?]

Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
First it was me, now you're saying it's you
Make up your mind
I'm done searching for clues
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Ask me more questions; I'll tell you no lies
Something's been stuck in the back of my mind
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth

Doesn't Make You Right

This is for my people out there feeling like they're black sheep
Running from the wolves that are nipping at your back feet
Leather jacket, pocket knives
Fencing in the backstreets
Burst into flames like a match to a gas leak
Only thing that kept me back in school was art class
Had a friend with the black flag armband
He said, "it's cool if they all don't understand you
Just be yourself, you know what you're here to do."
There's the haters, there's the bullies, there's the know-it-alls
But they just hate the faults, so they just hate us all
It's irrelevant
If they feel big and tall cause we're just tiny ants out in space on a giant ball

Hate on 'em, wait on
Go throw some shade on 'em
Hate on 'em, wait on
Go throw some shade on 'em

Wanna call me weak cause you think you're strong
Does it make you feel good?
Wanna shut me up cause you think I'm wrong
Does it make you feel good?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Sometimes I wonder why, I can't understand
My head keeps running like a river over troubled sand
And I'm just thinking of these reasons you would do me wrong
I can't think of one; I guess we all got our opinions
And I'm just out here trying to be good, do right
Trying to do things with my life
You just love causing a strike
Keep my eyes closed and my head down
Pass straight, my mind clear
My energy stays vibrant because I'm vibing on that raw shit, yeah
And f*ck that bullshit holding me down
Only way outta here is up
Y'all too busy sticking around for me

Hate on 'em, wait on
Go throw some shade on 'em
Hate on 'em, wait on
Go throw some shade on 'em

Wanna call me weak cause you think you're strong
Does it make you feel good?
Wanna shut me up cause you think I'm wrong
Does it make you feel good?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
No, it doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Wanna call me weak cause you think you're strong
Does it make you feel good?
Wanna shut me up cause you think I'm wrong
Does it make you feel good?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Gonna get loud cause we don't agree
Does it make you feel good?
Gonna go to war cause you don't know peace
Does it make you feel good?
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
No, it doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, yeah, ooh ooh
It doesn't make you right
Ooh ooh, yeah, ooh ooh
Do you ever really try?
See it from the other side?
Yeah, it doesn't make you right
It doesn't make you right
Now you really really wanna
Now you really really wanna
Yeah you really really wanted to, but you never even tried

Feeling Good

Feels good feeling good, man I told you so
Just live your life like you should and let your worries go
Keep your head up even if you're fed up
Things will never change if you run from what you're scared of
Just remember who you are and where you came from
If you get lost: count your steps and retrace 'em
Cause things change, but it ain't what defines you
Yeah, sometimes we need things that remind you

Even without light, you can always find me
Even when you're flying blind

I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna take it
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
I'm gonna make this world mine
Two joints and a bottle of wine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it this time
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
It feels like it's already mine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good

It feels good to get the demons out
A new day, a new dawn, beginning now
I feel I can do anything
Just need to believe in what got me here
So far, but so full of melody
And no time for my f*cking with my enemy
Too business-minded, I'm full of energy
You get what you give, so I'mma give everything, yeah
Got me running for the summer man, yeah
And y'all can tell him that I'm coming man, yeah
Eyes redder than a blood moon
Y'all can try and hide, but the world gon' be mine soon

Even without light, you can always find me
Even when you're flying blind

I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna take it
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
I'm gonna make this world mine
Two joints and a bottle of wine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it this time
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
It feels like it's already mine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good

I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
No reason, no reason
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
No reason to deny I'm feeling...
I'm feeling good

This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna take it
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
I'm gonna make this world mine
Two joints and a bottle of wine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it this time
I ain't going to lie, I'm feeling good
It feels like it's already mine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna take it
I'm gonna make this world mine
Two joints and a bottle of wine
No reason, no reason
This world is mine for the taking
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna take it this time
It feels like it's already mine
No reason to deny I'm feeling good

Under The Water

I'm tired, I'm restless
I've already said this
I might need a medic
I'm trapped in these mornings without you
These mornings without you, yeah
I'm more than just nervous
With walls on the surface
I know that you've heard this
I just want a morning here with you
A morning here with you, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, nowhere to run to when it gets harder
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, sharing a breath under the hurricane
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no

I've been thinking about leaving
Slowly sinking down
But while I'm thinking, you keep reaching
Never let me drown
You show me I'm worth it and no one is perfect
We all have a purpose and mine is to love this life with you
To love this life with you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, nowhere to run to when it gets harder
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, sharing a breath under the hurricane
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no

Cause in this moment we become free
Two warms hearts under the cold sea
Yeah, we float on, we float on
And in this time we become one
We could find peace with nowhere to run
Yeah, just hold on, just hold on
And in the darkness there will be light
Two lost souls in a starlit night
Don't let go because it won't feel right, yeah
I hear you calling, I'm calling back now
The rain is falling under the light town

Ooh, ooh, ooh, nowhere to run to when it gets harder
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, nowhere to run to when it gets harder
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, sharing a breath under the hurricane
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no one can find us under the water, no no

Too Cruel

I got an open mind, like a golden child
You try to go for points, I try to go for style
I do my city proud, I try to keep it wide
Ichiban, wicked one, Okinawa loud
I drank Guinnesses and go to dinner with my nemesis
Have a couple laughs while they plot how to finish this
Interested on how to get up on a wizard list
Senseless, you sense I'm the Sensei you 'prentices

I'm the salt up in the cut
Who you tryna play but us?
Like a DJ turning stuff
Who you tryna fool?
We all know that shit's unplugged

We're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel

I'm howling at the moon
Harry f*cking Henderson
Catch me in the mood
I ain't too cool for wrecking shit
Stoners on the loose
Call that shit a hippy flip
And we just getting going
Yeah this shit's just my starter kit
I'm on a good one, real f*cking good one
I'm feeling brand new, yeah I'm talking redone
I'm talking 'bout me, talking 'bout the real one
I'm not with Jenny tossin' rocks at the building
How they stoned, all that shit
So fly, call me pilot
MCs getting turn a kit
Body bag that murder vic'
The seven dance is evident
We stampede: an elephant
We crash out on king beds,
y'all bitches soft like pillow mints

We're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no we're so cruel
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no we're so cruel
Act so pure, but you're far from farm breed
Think your charm could disarm an army
Said it's hard to stop me, I'm far from obvi
Us when a bus parks f*cking hockey
Her pot of coffee went [?]
And my dick went limp like some Laffy Taffy
But her body stopped me, and I'm tired of talking
You want an accent? Here's a mouth full of Cockney
Said you wanna ring and you think that I'll drop me
Just for some pussy that'll bust outta Box Spring
All of the times that you tried to off me
The tables are turned and now the music is offbeat
You wanted me back, so you're kissing me softly
I'd rather jack off in a sock with some hot tea
I'm over it now, we're like a walkity-talkie
I'm leaving now bitch, try to stop me

We're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel
Yeah, cruel
Yeah, cruel
Alright
No, we're so cruel

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no we're so cruel
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no we're so cruel

Oxygen

Tornado, I see you coming around
Don't let go, you know I'm holding you down
People shouldn't change like the weather, man
People shouldn't change if they innocent
People act strange when it's getting out of beat
So let me be your oxygen

Please don't go, I will stay
When everyone is leaving and you're feeling strange
See them call, hear them say
Trying to bleed but your feeling's stretched
Oh woah, feel like you're living, but you might be better off dead
If you go and I'm not there
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen, yeah

Domino, this well keeps knocking you down
Let them know, no one can push you around
Getting hard to breathe in the everland
Feels like you never see the sun again
Domino, this well keeps knocking you down

Please don't go, I will stay
When everyone is leaving and you're feeling strange
See them call, hear them say
Trying to bleed but your feeling's stretched
Oh woah, feel like you're living, but you might be better off dead
If you go and I'm not there
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen, yeah

Laughing with these feelings in your head
They don't mean nothing, they don't mean nothing, no
Feeding off the words that they all said
They don't mean nothing, no

Please don't go, I will stay
When everyone is leaving and you're feeling strange
See them call, hear them say
Trying to bleed but your feeling's stretched
Please don't go, I will stay
When everyone is leaving and you're feeling strange
See them call, hear them say
Trying to bleed but your feeling's stretched
Oh woah, feel like you're living, but you might be better off dead
If you go and I'm not there
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen
I'll be your oxygen, yeah

Red Lights

Blurred eyes on the highway
Raindrops on the window
Don't stop for the sirens
Sound of the tyrant gone with the wind blows
Get lost in the moment
Find peace in the night
It is what it is, you can't stop shit
Just go with the flow till the flow feels right
I go to the glow of the light
And I know when the moment's right
Keep hoping I feel less sight
Cause you lost control when the flames ignite
Calm down when I breathe in
Exhale with a reason
I float above, vision's above
Looks like the sky is bleeding

I feel like it lasts for so long
It's getting harder to find my way back home
I do not care, I'm fine right here
I feel I'm better off out on my own

Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium

Lately I've been lazy-eyed
Caught in my mind like a crazy guy
Foaming at the mouth like a rabies bite
Wishing I'd be vaporized
Floating around like we're rating's high
F*ck in the sky like a mating fly
Shit ain't free like it's '80s night
So back on the ground till my plane is fried
Sitting in the shadows of the battles that I can't escape
Seething, think I'm bleeding, while I'm leaning on my lidocaine
One punch, one K, Titan like I'm anime
Yeah that'd be great if you could step out of my office space

I feel like it lasts for so long
It's getting harder to find my way back home
I do not care, I'm fine right here
I feel I'm better off out on my own

Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium

Let me get lost
You cannot stop me

Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
Staring at these red lights
Trying to keep my head right
I don't need no bullshit
Keep it from my eyesight
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium
You cannot stop me, I'm the vital one
Let me get lost in my delirium

We'll roll one up and live life like hippies on vacation
Day dreaming, no boundaries, and no separation
Live life like we on one
Two joints in the morning
Three more when the sun's gone
Better hold on when we float on
Live life like we on one
Two joints in the morning
Three more when the sun's gone
Better hold on when we float on

Moon Tower

Let's go outside
Look up at the stars tonight
See 'em when the full's out
You can meet me at the moon tower
Let's all get high
Look up at the starlit sky
Let's all go for a ride
Meet me at the moon tower tonight

Yeah, yeah
Man school's out forever
Long live the summer, sayonara cold weather
I'm talking joints and margaritas
Girls rocking hoodies, wearing three-stripped Adidas
We on a mission for a good time, going all-in
You bring a joint man? Well it'd be cooler if you did
Cause I don't know, yeah I don't know where the night will go

Driving down a dark road
Rolling down the window
Hands out, hands out, hands out now

Let's go outside
Look up at the stars tonight
See 'em when the full's out
You can meet me at the moon tower
Let's all get high
Look up at the starlit sky
Let's all go for a ride
Meet me at the moon tower tonight
The moon tower tonight
Meet me at the moon tower tonight

Welcome to the magic hour; night shade green
Sky's crying light like we're living in a dream
Are we lying on the ground? Are we floating in the beam?
My mind is feeling galaxies I ain't ever seen
I want to take this trip, so I can taste your lips
And this weightlessness, outer space and kiss
And this maintenance on my face is bliss
Making love up in the moon tower just for kicks

Driving down a dark road
Rolling down the window
Hands out, hands out, hands out now
Driving down a dark road
Rolling down the window
Hands out, hands out, hands out now

Let's go outside
Look up at the stars tonight
See 'em when the full's out
You can meet me at the moon tower
Let's all get high
Look up at the starlit sky
Let's all go for a ride
Meet me at the moon tower tonight
The moon tower tonight
Meet me at the moon tower tonight

Driving down a dark road
The moon tower tonight
Rolling down the window
The moon tower tonight
Driving down a dark road
The moon tower tonight
Rolling down the window

We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up, never coming down
We goin' up

Realize It

Feeling South but you're warm up in your North Face
It's all perspective: you the jockey of the horserace
Think you got it bad while someone living off of your waste
Waiting like a music lover looking for that chord change
Game of life, this no f*cking board game
We put in work and paid our dues before the tours bang
Back when we were barely eating, sleeping on the floor stained
Now we joining people all together like we ordained

Everybody's gotta make mistakes
Everybody's gotta feel heartache
Everybody's gotta love someone

Someone to realize it
To realize it
To realize it
To realize it, yeah

These psychedelic undertones, they circulate my mindframe
Trouble comes my way, but I just faze it out like day dreams
Born in the '80s, but my heart lives in the '60s in a meadow full of daisies, running naked with some gypsies, man
Half empty glasses overflow with expectations
I take opportunities and make them revelations
We all got the same 24, man life's an audible
Call ya own plays, or you'll get played up like some pocket pool

Everybody's gotta make mistakes
Everybody's gotta feel heartache
Everybody's gotta love someone

Someone to realize it
To realize it
To realize it
To realize it, yeah

Spaced out and you're feeling high, but your head's down waiting
Laced out in a golden jewels, but you miss that craving
Photo on that brain's the truth outta what you've been faking
Now you're looking up at the skies saying, "someone, save me."

Someone to realize it
To realize it
To realize it
To realize it, yeah
Someone to realize it
To realize it
To realize it
To realize it, yeah
