We ought to thank you
for loving us
half to death
(God knows you tried):
safe as houses,
virtual arms stretched out
surround us,
showing us how to make you proud.

We’ve come to believe
it’s better to leave.

We’ve come to believe
Our Lady of Malibu
is no longer watching over you
and me.

We’ve come to believe
it’s better to leave
than be left behind.
We’ve come to believe
we’re gonna be alright,
we’re gonna be alright.
We’ve come to believe
so far, so good.

We ought to warn you
there are some regrets:
a banker’s box of broken dishes,
a rivery grave of drop dead wishes,
a car crash kiss
no one misses
but seldom forgets.

Yeah, there are some regrets.
(God knows you did your best.)

Our Lady of Malibu,
no longer watching
over you and me.

We’ve come to believe
it’s better to leave
than be left behind.
We’ve come to believe
we’re gonna be alright,
we’re gonna be alright.
We’ve come to believe.
So far, so good.
So far, so good.
So far, so good.
So far, so good. by @smallermonsters

New track out today, “Our Lady Of Malibu”, the institutions that promise to protect us, loving us half to death: the voice on the screen with its virtual arms stretched out. And we’ve come to believe she’s no longer watching over us... “so far, so good…”

Working out ‘Nevada Snow’ on piano—while drinking beers under a Joshua Tree in Yucca Valley, of course. Excited to get it recorded and released soon! #BabyDontGoToVegas #NevadaSnow #SinCity #GrievousAngel #GuiltyAngels #Molly #Rollin #emotwang #singersongwriters taken in Yucca Valley, California by @smallermonsters

Out on Spotify etc. now! Go drive the new Smaller Monsters love song like you stole it 🤍 ‘Ghost of the Saint Vrain’ cover art: @joy_greer_artist … Here’s how it goes: We had it all, all worked out
over propane and trout.
In San Miguel de Allende
I’d found just the place
for us to run, run away
at first light of day
rolling on and on and on
a blue highway.

Sometimes I close my eyes,
I can almost hear my name
in a voice lost across
the Saint Vrain—
even over all this time
with all this space
‘tween the waters
and the banks
of the Saint Vrain—
calling my name.
Some wombs are rivers.
Some rivers are tombs.
Sometimes the river,
sometimes the blue,
sometimes the river moves like you.

God only knows
how they knew I’d hide there with you, laying
low in Colorado—Mexico
just a morning away.
Away, that first light of day
rolling on and on and on
a blue highway.

Sometimes I close my eyes,
I can almost hear my name
in a voice lost across
the Saint Vrain—
even over all this time
with all this space
‘tween the waters
and the banks
of the Saint Vrain.
The waters and the banks are calling my name.
Some wombs are rivers.
Some rivers are tombs.
Sometimes the river,
sometimes the blue,
sometimes the river moves like you.
