One Shot Lyrics

One shot goes to the poet's head.
One shot goes in the sand.
One more day in this fucking town.
I'm going to crack a hole in my hand.

Mom's in the water. Dad's in the car.
Jesus is standin' on the beach,
he's floatin' with a glow in the dark sitar.

One shot goes to the mother's womb.
One shot goes to their head.
One more dream like that last night.
I'm gonna crack a hole in my bed.

One shot goes to the water. Dad's in the car.
Jesus is walkin' on the water,
he's floatin' with a joint as big as a star.

Mom's in the water. Dad's in the car.
Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'.
Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'.
Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'.

ha, I was just about to add this lyric, I love this song. I wonder why they never released it as an A-side.

but it goes "Mom's in the water, Dad's in the car" I think...

and after the first chorus it goes:

One shot goes to the mother's womb One shot goes to their HEAD One more DREAM like THAT last night I'm goNNA CRACK a hole in my bed

the chorus is a total blur... something about walking on the water, floating... and then something about a cigar...

I shouldn't be so proud of myself, but I figured this damn song out:

One shot goes to the poet's head. One shot goes in the sand. One more day in this fucking town. I'm going to crack a hole in my hand.

Mom's in the water. Dad's in the car. Jesus is standin' on the beach, he's floatin' with a glow in the dark sitar.

One shot goes to the mother's womb. One shot goes to their head. One more dream like that last night. I'm gonna crack a hole in my bed.

One shot goes to the water. Dad's in the car. Jesus is walkin' on the water, he's floatin' with a joint as big as a star.

Mom's in the water. Dad's in the car. Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'. Jesus is floatin'.
