The Ballad of the Surfin’ Cowboy Lyrics by Nora Marks

Opt Out

2021

Talking with my friends up in the sky
Convincing them I'm not that kind of guy
Just fear the ways that I might disappoint
It's funny til it's something to avoid
So explain the way these items can do good
Because I'm failing in my fight against my mood
The sticker's wearing off in all this heat
Read it once, but can't say what it means
Intend to
Never stop
Raging bull
China shop
Intend to
Never stop
Lose control
Punch the clock
Desire wormed its way into your brain
Ran it off, but it left a wicked stain
And your sick over the water that you spilled
Worshipping this holy molehill
Intend to
Never stop
Raging bull
China shop
Intend to
Never stop
Lose control
Punch the clock
Farther than the city sounds
Somewhere in the past
Tryna get us settled down
Can't build anything that lasts
Let my shadow drive awhile
Guess it's here to stay
Blessing our endeavors
In its own peculiar way
Intend to
Never stop
Raging bull
China shop
Intend to
Never stop
Lose control
Punch the clock
