Zerff and Brian Gash
Download VERY ROUGH demo
(I found this unused track while going through the backup files from our album sessions. I'll be blunt: it sounds like shit. That's Dean playing the banjo. My singing might charitably be described as "lackadaisical". I think we recorded this around five in the morning on the day of Dean's final departure for Scotland. We were in a rush to record drums for as many songs as possible before he left, and a lot of stuff never got used.)
Brian Zerff and Brian Gash
Another pack of cigarettes,
another wad of cash
Another pair of prairie
boys cruising down the road
Another waitress screaming
for the money that she's owed
Brian Zerff is twenty-one
He swears he never fired
that gun
He grew up in a prairie
town
He loves to put the prairie
down
He used to dream of drumming
loud
Before a screaming city
crowd
His father made him get
a job
He's just another prairie
slob
Brian Gash and Brian Zerff
Too late to sail the seven
seas, too far away to surf
Any other prairie boys would
never have got so far
But where could two such
prairie boys have gotten such a car?
Brian Gash is seventeen
He used to date a beauty
queen
He speaks the language of
the earth
He's quick to anger, slow
to mirth
One day he took an awful
chance
At his high school's senior
dance
He tried to live a fairy
tale
He's just another prairie
male
Brian Zerff and Brian Gash
Another pack of cigarettes,
another wad of cash
Another pair of prairie
boys getting smashed on Bud
Another waitress crying
in a puddle of her blood
Brian Gash and Brian Zerff
Just doing wheelies in the
turf
They left behind their prairie
town
Wait till their parents
track them down
They're headed south on
eighty-five
While one boy sleeps the
other drives
If you see them be sure
to smile
They're going to Cali for
a while
Brian Gash and Brian Zerff
Too late to sail the seven
seas, too far away to surf
Another stolen auto and
a pair of prairie males
Now these boys are living
out a prairie fairy tale
Now these boys are living
out a prairie fairy tale
Now these boys are living
out a prairie fairy tale
