Old Fins out to Pasture

by Woosley

1.
His outlaw's prickly burial Upside down and criminal Psycho sociopath Extraordinary soul Miss Guided Isolation raking romantic coals Her synthetic sorrow pouring down Withered expectations are off the ground Give me a hollow beat Give me a hollow tune Give me a hollow note Under a hollow moon and Overwhelm my galaxy with gas Take me to the fertile path I'm all alone! I'm all alone! I'm all alone!
2.
Green and fastly fading How long does she keep me waiting? When out of the thin air She springs up just like a flower with Knowledge and vibration Get me out of the picture and Take me to your station Take me out of the water Get me out of the picture and Take me to your station!
3.
Heaven knows that I'm blind and It's clear I drink all your beer Would you be mine? Would you become mine again? Would you be kind? Would you be mine? Would you become mine again? Heaven knows that I'm blind and It's for real I lost my appeal What's my new deal? Would you be mine? Won't you be mine?

Nobody's at the gym Nodoby's at the gym Love and Behold me Love and Behold me

Old fins out to pasture Be my little disaster Old fins out to pasture Out to sea Old fins out to pasture Be my sweet disaster Old fins I guess I'm gonna keep on running I guess I'm running after something I'm bombing all day (get it! get it!) Not going out to pasture (get it! get it!) I'm calling all fish (get it! get it!) I'm not going out to pasture The Holy Moment The Holy Buzz The Holy Child went with All my drugs So let's go off the plan Let go of the plan I love you so long Waves of the muy cierto! I love you so much I love you so long I love you alright I think it's something you said today

Punch-Drunk 00:19
I'm feeling much obliged I'm feeling maladjusted The fish hook has rusted in my veins and It's gone to my brain Brain! Brain!
7.
Yeah, when the dogs drink Yeah, when the dogs sink Yeah, when the dogs are hanging out to die You never wake up You never make up You only crawl back to make him cry Old fins like Old friends You're not the world's greatest disaster I'm not going to pasture! I'm not rolling any faster!
8.
I guess if it's the only thing you got I'll take it with the old sea ranger If it's the only sea I'll be brought Then it's the kind of sea I want to swim in I guess if this is my only thought It sure as Hell better be a kind one I guess if this is all that we got We sure as Hell better be thankful
9.
When they find the hole They're gonna blame us Life won't be worth living after that On this side of the mirror It's a life worth losing Salvation comes from the other side of that door and I'm not fucking coming back Worry about what's on the vine now Worry about it fucking later but I'm not coming back
10.
Fourteen years I've been training in this sweaty shithole For what? For just that moment One second of bright consciousness When you're not getting hit in the head Fourteen years and none of these dumb fuckers Figured out that we live in a fish bowl They think it rains every fucking day You see? I was never really alone Never really all alone
11.
I just want to say hello to you I'm not always alone I'm not always a lone...
12.
Heaven's around me She's an overload Sledgehammer to my cosmos The red hot light in the Godless sights Where all of the sound has vanished There is a roar and rush of nothing Hushed below you in utter silence That will never grip your nor soothe you Heaven's around me She's an overload

about

Al Keys is the only fish in Dry Town who knows that he lives in a fish bowl. Or is he? Has his heroin-addled lover Miss Guided Isolation known secrets he thought only he knew, all along?

In volume #5, Al avenges the death of his father Russ who was killed by a landshark who also happened to be named Russ. The landshark tricked Al's father into thinking he was going to die on the beach without his assistance, a quick push into the water, only to eat Al's father and walk back into the water.

The guilt of avenging his father's death sends Al into a tailspin of rue and despair that he tries to ward off over a series of hedonistic, mind-altering, mood-swinging manic days. He visits the secret burial of the landshark he murdered before boozing in the dives of Dry Town amongst other washed up boxers and bottom feeders in wreckless abandon. He skips work and avoids his desperate lover while he ponders the mysterious world he recently discovered in the basement of Sea Dogs Gym.

Al knows MGI must be frantically worried and waiting for him at the Sea Castle Hotel to deliver yet another necessary fix of heroin but he is determined to return to the portal again, if he can only manage to make it out of the bars. And there's always more training, more carousing more hustling, more drug vending and more punches in the head.
