for Betse, Curtis, Dave, Amber and the entire Valdepena family, Pico Rivera, CA
lyrics
Smoke a Marlboro 100 for old times sake, the kind your mom knew I stole from here but she never said a thing
let's act like kids and watch the clouds roll from the back porch, all at once feel the universe in unison stumbling forth
Stoned as the day is long, hold onto this place anyway i can until its gone
Here we will be safe
Safe for old times sake
Meet you at the top beneath the Rose Hills sign, We’ll smoke and stand among the bodies, search the smog for a skyline
try not to walk over strangers, look for our family, maybe run into our friends, maybe find some celebrities
stoned as the day is long in a graveyard,
Hold on to these moments any way I can until they're gone
Here we will be safe
Safe for old time’s sake
Smoke a Marlboro 100 till I’m sick to my stomach
Just one for your mother to let her know that I love her
