::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Offensive Orange are part of Canada's growing marijuana problem and drop a 'car crash into a brick wall' soundtrack carved out of a monolithic mammoth skull. Like feeling trapped in a 3D crossword-puzzle with everchanging shades and seasons. Aquatic weed identification and malfunctioning wires, one step away of making grass-leaved golden eyes a lifestyle.

Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine What makes people act the way they do? Mrs. Gowanus, this bar will be forever ours Why did you have to leave us so soon? It couldn’t have been the right time It couldn’t have been so soon Mrs. Gowanus, the lines between us are so fine What secrets do you hide? What futures can you tell me? Looking into the cup you hold Mrs. Gowanus, are you really so old, That you alone know, When the truth becomes lies, Through the passage of time? Mrs. Gowanus, why are you singing to the stones? Do they tell you what you need to know? Our seats are so far away Mrs. Gowanus, the line between us is so fine What makes people act the way they do? Mrs. Gowanus, are we really losing you?

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below. Yeah!
You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been,
Gonna love you baby, here I come again.
Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away.
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby, I want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true,
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?
