[Verse 1:]
It was all a dream
I used to read Thrasher Magazine, looking at pictures of skateboarders
California
So envy me, S.O.S. L.A.P.D.
Docking the yacht in such low waters
Alizontra
[Chorus:]
Now it's a different game
80 percent still agree
The winning cause, it pleases God
The losing cause pleases me
[Verse 2:]
At the duty-free,
Gifts of wine and Hennessey
Beautifully made from such fine waters
Robert Smithson
An ancient scene,
Spiral Jetty, favorite cheese
Leaving the rocks in such blind order
Colosseum
[Chorus: x2]
Now it's a different game
80 percent still agree
The winning cause, it pleases God
The losing cause pleases me
