Little Yellow Snowcave
03:00

|
With my feet flat I get going so fast. Relax, I don't need this bad. Switch stance I'd be on my ass but I am on my feet flying through the trees. Nothing can touch me. A little yellow snowcave is all that's left of my friend Dave. Passing people like a videogame. I'm so fast and they're so lame. They will never even know my name so it's a perfect crime on the lips of time, space and time is mine. A little yellow snowcave is all that's left of my friend Dave.

Since '94
03:29

Dogs don't watch television (*actually some do, but whatever). They don't mess with indecision much. They know what they need: LOVE, and food. When I was twelve years old I move to California - so windy and so cold! It isn't like they tell you. Since '94 it's been more and more and something I never did before isn't novel anymore is my life just sick decay or am I on the path anyway? Anyway, the sun burned out so we can't stay unless another source is found for light and heat and sunshine because I can't live without sunshine. Since '94 it's been more and more and something I never did before isn't novel anymore. Is my life just sick decay or am I on the path anyway? Oh no! How do you get clean without losing your edge. It's a question with no answer. That's where my story ends.

Santa Cruz Girl
03:04
|
|||
|
I met a bitter faced guy with the face like pony scheming local girls with a foreign kind of phone. He said he saw a girl who was checking him out. I didn't say a thing but expressed my doubt. The same fucking day I met a chick from France smoking cigarettes in her dirty French pants. She said she wants to be a Santa Cruz girl so I took her hand and showed her my world. She was out of her element. We are out of our element.

Humanoid

No one can read your mind. You're just another humanoid alone with your thoughts so contemplate the void. Or you can follow me down to my space by the sea. Ecstasy by the sea. I know you will fall in love with me. I hope you never ever go away and I hope you always stay the same. But I know that people always go away. I hope that you will never change.

Taking L.S.D. all the trippers looking up to me. Losing myself to the acid fashion can't you see? Now the tide's been changing, the ocean's been turning blue, we take acid and now all I see is you. I met her with my lips at the night cafe on Amsterdam. Smoking cigarettes as she kissed me and she touched my hand. Now the world's been changing, the ocean's been turning blue. We take acid and now all I see is you. Super stare, Sarah Bear, if I kill myself I don't care, to smell you breath and sleep against your chest. Do nothing, don't kill me. You're my L.S.D.

L.A. River
03:31
|
|||
|
I'm floating down the L.A. river with my hopes and dreams in Los Angeles. I sold my soul to the lowest bidder who took my trees now I can't breath so I lie awake at night and I'm still awake because Planet Earth is still alive. There was always war and strife. I've heard about the death of god and I've read Kant and Kierkegaard so I lie awake at night. I'm still awake but I won't have to kill myself because I'm already dead. Ever since I got here I've had bullets in my head so take me by the balls and let's see how hard we can fall. I hope that you will see why I have answered to your call so I can flow into the sea.

Fields of the Ghost
05:36
|

|
My skull has served me well. I need the brain it holds but it's too hard to stop the flow of foolish thought. Down the tubes we go alone we are unknown. Life goes by. Where does it go? Out in the fields with the ghost confused spirits wander alone. They wander fields with the ghost. Can you deny you are alone? Always searching for that friend you'll never find. Confused heart, innocent soul. The only friend you have will always be your mind. Don't betray the only one who'll ever know. Something always told me you had something inside. Something always told me you had something to hide.

Molecular Decay

|

|
Baby by the bay why aren't you thinking about the beach and days of making waves? Love you all the way. The world is all we need it's just a place to catch a wave. Day after day. Molecular decay. Bonds give way. To molecular decay. What can I say? Day after day these bond give way to molecular decay.

She eats like a dog and she howls like wolf. As she trips through the stars only dark lights are pulled. Down at old Cole's savages gather to listen to forbidden codes of the caverns. Down at old Cole's savages gather. We're etching our minds on the walls of this tavern. Together we scream, my monkeys and me. We are blowing off steam from the tops of the trees. Down at old Cole's savages gather to listen to forbidden codes of the caverns. Down at old Cole's savages gather. We're etching our minds on the walls of this tavern. Together we scream, all my monkey's and me. I will climb up a tree. I'm a monk monkey.

California
02:51

To be young is to fight for change. To be satisfied is to die. To seek to conform? That is truly strange. That you should do so is a lie. I like California I guess but you've got to go east to get west. The present fails the young man because it's not good enough. The present fails the young women twice. First because she can't be what she'd really want to be. Second because kindness is a vice in a world where every virtue has its price. I like California I guess but you've got to go east to get west. Because the future's all been used up yesterday and the past is just a myth where we can't go. All great thought's were thought before you were born and all that's left of love is porn. I like California I guess but you've got to go east to get west.

Killing Myself
03:41
|

|
It feels so good to be alive today. I won't hurt you. I won't tell no lies today. I'm killing myself just to watch myself die. The sun will rise and set in the west today. Let's go down to the beach and watch the children play. I'm killing myself just to watch myself die. I don't want you to cry but this is no lie. I'm killing myself just to watch myself die.

Humboldt Squid Santa Cruz, California
Marc Brown and Mark Quinn are Humboldt Squid. We formed in LA back in 2003!! Back then there was a huge squid die-off and thousands washed up on the shore in Long Beach. That's how we got our name. We love playing music together. We had some amazing shows last year and we are going to have some great ones this year. We will also be releasing an EP and our "lost" record, Fantasticum. Share the love ... more
