pickin' up the pieces again / your parents stopped paying the rent comin like a caravan do a little dance in the rain / say it at the table with grace comin like a caravan table small talk is so interesting / all the words there don't have to mean anything go and tell the one that you love what you really think / all the words there don't have to mean anything your money ran off with your girl / your girl ran off with the world comin like a caravan and you do a little weak handshake / sit down at the table with fate comin like a caravan table small talk is so interesting / all the words there don't have to mean anything go and tell the one what you really think / all the words there don't have to mean anything just another smug rock song that's so interesting / all the words here dont have to mean anything go and tell your four corner friends that are listening/ all the words here dont even mean anything

I took a ride with a new world order / we were tryina dodge the draft, tryna make it to the border come home the car caught fire on the way to sarasota/ the leaves turned green our thumbs were stickin up while the trucks were dopplerin by come home well this dashboard looks like the rest of our lives as our old rubber soles burn holes in the night we swam our way through the sands of arizona / our eyes caught fire cause all we could see was the sun burnin in the sky come home the lights flickered out in the land of high rollers/ the cops drove by while termites were eating our shoes no they weren't even wood/ come home well this dashboard looks like the rest of our lives as our old rubber soles burn holes in the night and if you look around you may see us staring at you yeah we see you staring, too yeah we think your the weird one, too go home

I'll tuck you into bed/ where you can dream those dreams that only you can have and i'll pray for you and me/ when it rains your tears will fill the sea god bless your soul/and where it goes when the body decompose/yeah he cries for everyone when it rains the sidewalk chalk will run he worry wonders bout the thunder, humble thoughts so incompletely as you ease into the water, cheer up charlie, soak your smooth stones are buried in the winter, when the freeze is just too deep down all that pressure in the ocean, cheer up charlie, soak your feet god was fitted collar and a leash/science tamed that fangled mangled beast but he cries for everyone, when it rains the sidewalk chalk will run he worry wonders bout the thunder, humble thoughts so incompletely as you ease into the water, cheer up charlie, soak your smooth stones are buried in the winter, when the freeze is just too deep down all that pressure in the ocean, cheer up charlie, soak your feet

I'll meet you there by the 10000 stairs in the dark, dark, dark and we'll both sing/ and dance to the things that are not too far and we're all here for as long as we can and its hard, hard, hard then it all goes dark, dark, dark I'll kiss you there on the steps of the stairs in the dark, dark, dark and all the miles that brought us to here don't seem so far, far, far and I will love you as long as I can until death does its part and it all goes dark, dark, dark but on my wrist and balled up in my fist is your heart, heart, heart and that's not so dark, dark, dark

about

"Sloth is pretty perfectly named for a rock band that combines a pronounced Pavement streak in the vocals and guitar with a shuffle-snare alt-country. It’s a situation where the best of both worlds come together: the endearing slacker ethos of early ’90s indie-rock meets the fresh-faced sounds of ’90s alt-country in tunes like “Matador Scarf” and “No Places to Be.” Scuzzy guitar drops into the background of tunes, mumbly vocals wander around with wry amusement written all over them, and overall good vibes permeate everything.

Even tunes that lean more to one side of their genre mix are fun: “Cheer Up Charlie” is devoid of alt-country and plays up the pseudo-funky chill that white boys were (are) all about; “This Dashboard Looks Like the Rest of Our Lives” is a bent take on trad country, while “Dark Dark Dark” is as close to Jayhawks as Sloth gets. But it’s opener “Smug Rock” that shows the best way forward for Sloth: a space somewhere between the two genres where they can put their stamp on the sound. Just like most early ’90s indie-rock, Sloth’s work is just plain fun to listen to: delightfully quirky, unexpectedly exciting, and altogether impressive."
