Ain’t it just like a prison here tonight You told me you didn’t wanna Be the one to start the fight So we drive through the dark In the cold winter wind And when we see a midrange hotel, we check in You got a lot of nerve is what you said Tellin’ them we need just one king bed Do you think you’re hot shit? Do you think I’m twenty-two? When the sun comes up I’m leaving you The volcano erupts It’ll swallow you up Til there’s no frontier left to roam You always got by on luck But now it swallows you up Til you don’t know how to get home Check us in And you park the rental car Pull a tired joke from your tired repertoire We walk the long hallway In anonymous off-white We’re not gonna make it through the night

about

The second single from our upcoming LP "Carry On Regardless". Baby Teeth goes to Bakersfield. We "came here looking for something", as Buck Owens would say, and we came back with a slice of country heaven. At least unless you're in the relationship being described.... doesn't sound like it's going well for those two.

Lots of treats for you in this one. An instrumental version with just a hint of the vocal, if you wanna sing along. A version with just vocals and electric piano. By popular demand, a return of the brilliant exotica interpretations proffered by the mysterious Infomercial USA. And even a clean version, should you be offended by certain four-letter utterances, or should you find yourself the programming director of a massive radio conglomerate.

Finally, a confidential message to our previous single, Don't Go Outside. There's only one way to follow you up: SWALLOW You Up.

We'll be here all week.
