Old Man of the Lake

[Verse 1]

We had our bikes

And wearing Spandex

Three of us, my brother and my cousin named Josh

At Crater Lake with California license plates

A Prius and an energy bar

In my fatigue, I turned the key

And drove the car like a frisbee on a methadone high

And just my luck, a Ranger in a pick-up truck

Appeared as the image of God

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don't like to start a fight

The Ranger rolled with his hands on his gun

He gave us shit, and made us sit

On the curb with our back to the terminal sun

[Chorus]

What price would I pay

To reverse my fate?

Old man of thе lake

Have a laugh at us now

(Coo-Coo-Coo)

[Verse 2]

My brother said "don't givе him trouble"

As he made a remark at the officer's back

The Ranger reached and swung his gun around

My brother went down like a domino pair

[Pre-Chorus]

And like a dream the Ranger screamed

"Put your hands on your head

Keep them where I can see them"

He cuffed 'em off

And fucked 'em up

With a laugh while we sat

With our hands on the curb

[Chorus]

What wish could I call

From the witches cauldron?

Old man of the lake

Have a laugh at us now

(Coo-Coo-Coo)

(Coo-Coo-Coo)

[Outro]

Old man of the lake

Have a laugh at us now

(Coo-Coo-Coo)

(Coo-Coo-Coo)

Old man of the lake

Have a laugh at us now

(Coo-Coo-Coo)
