Liner Notes  | Why | Tombstone Barney
Picture
Dawn Patrol
Rolling out of bed at dawn 
I pull my Senior Lopez on 
It’s gonna be an ice cold day 
But that should keep the kooks away 

 Paddle out for Dawn Patrol 
Take an early morning stroll 
Smile with the rising sun 
Riding waves and having fun 

The morning fog is creeping low 
Street lights giving off their glow 
No one on the beach but me 
So I slide into my 5/4/3        

Carving picture perfect waves 
In my liquid holy church, I’m saved 
Seagulls singing out their praise 
The heavens part with golden rays 

If you go on dawn patrol 
There’s something that you gotta know 
You better keep my ocean clean 
And leave like you were never seen 
Picture
Chasing The Sun 
I’d  rather get burned, by a girl with no expectations 
Than live in the sealed off rooms of someone else’s dreams 
Sunshine baby, eyes that sparkle like the sea 
I think maybe, you should spend some time with me 
 
When you’re chasing the sun 
There’s always a chance 
You run the risk of burning 
I won’t promise you paradise, ‘cause you know, that isn’t real 
So let’s just drift in the moment 
And let the current come wash us away 
 
I’ rather run free, with a girl with no hesitations 
Than stay in the worn out lanes of someone else’s dreams 
Seaside lady, I don’t believe in destiny 
It might be crazy, but you should take a chance on me 
 
Sundance baby, I love your spontaneity 
I think maybe, you should run away with me 
Picture
Steamer Lane
​Mr Fernandez, givin’ me the stare 
Only nine-fifteen and I’m squirmin’ in my chair 
This Spanish class, got me trapped inside 
Necessito mi surfboard and a wave to ride 
So I fake an illness with a coughing attack 
But instead of the nurse, I sneak around out back 
I see Jimmy’s Camaro with the pin stripe flames 
And we burn out the lot -  For Steamer Lane  
 
We’re feeling kinda hungry and we need some grinds 
At the Togos shop, we get the number 9 
We find a place to park and we hide the keys 
The ocean is cold and we get ready to freeze 
We wade into the water and survey the scene 
Thank you Jack O’Neill for your neoprene 
We got a reservation for some pleasure and pain 
So we paddle on out -  For Steamer Lane 
 
Middle Peak is rising as we carve the foam 
But we want more, so we start to roam 
The winter swell is pounding as we reach The Slot 
I try to set up, but my leash is caught 
Seaweed has me tangled and it’s pulling me down 
I hold my breath, hoping I won’t drown 
Then Jimmy cut my leash with his razor blade 
And then he pulled me out -  Of Steemer Lane  
 
Now I’m no Tommy Curren but I’m feeling no shame 
There’s beers in the Camaro and they’re calling my name 
As the sun starts to set, we’re feeling no pain 
We can’t wait to come back -to Steemer Lane  

Sea Lions barking at me like I’m a clown
 
Fresh dings in my board and it’s bringing me down ​
Picture
Riptide
​I feel it pulling me under 
Dragging me down, far away from the shore 
The riptide - the riptide 
Like an invisible hand 
It’s holding me down, like I’m nailed to the floor 
The riptide - the riptide 
 
Your love is like a deadly current it’s drowning me 
It’s time to cut the line and set me free 
Can't you see 
We were not  
Meant to be -  
 
When I’m out with my boys 
You blow up my phone, telling me to come home 
The riptide - the riptide 
I have always been true  
But your suspicion of me is like a dog with a bone 
The riptide - the riptide 
 
You’re filled with jealousy 
A twisted fantasy 
You never trusted me 
Now please just set me free. 
Picture
Dopamine
I see your bad intentions 
When you cast your eyes at me that way 
Oooh girl, you got my attention mmm mmm 
You flirt in all directions 
But I know your love is just for me 
Oooh girl, you're my hot addiction mmmm mmmm 
 
Taste of your kiss - touching your skin 
Hands in my hair - pulling me in 
Dopamine, Dopamine 
Feeling the rush - drunk from your touch 
High as the sky - lost in your eyes 
Dopamine, Dopamine 
 
I love your indiscretion 
You don’t give a damn what people say 
Oooh girl, you're my new fixation mmmm mmmm 
I feel your codependence 
Burning like a fire when your away 
Oooh girl, you’re my big obsession mmmm mmmm 
 
We’ve got a sweet connection 
Whisper pretty lies into my ear 
Oooh girl, come hear my confession, mmmm mmmm 
You’re my intoxication 
I get a crazy high when I’m with you 
Oooh girl, you’re my medication mmmm mmmm 
 
Come and tell your pretty lies into my ear 
I got secrets my intentions are clear 
You alone cast the spell I’m under 
With Your Dopamine release no wonder.  ​

Wake Up​​
It's time to wake up we know the deal
No longer pretend that it's not real
Can't move the needle with one some (its time)
Sad truth is it takes everyone

Awake from your dream
There's not as much time as it seems (wake up)
Admit that you see
Change what will be

So what will you do?
You know that it's true
Picture
Better Angels 
It’s easy to look away 
Or hide in the shadows 

When you get surprised by things that you know ain't right 
You might get uncomfortable 
Speaking words that wake the dead or could shine a light 


Sleepwalking while you’re wide awake 
No pride left to swallow 

Trying not to see the things that you know ain’t right 
Sweet time starts to slip away 
Sitting on your hands so you won’t have to fight 


Hey - say it out loud! Say it out loud! 
Say the words they need to hear 

Do what you gotta do 
To reach their better angels 
Hey - say it out loud! Say it out loud! 
To the demons in their ears 

Do what you gotta do 
To reach their better angles 

 
So easy to run away 
Or suffer in silence 

But you can’t ignore the things that you know ain’t right 
​It takes all your energy 

Dragging monsters from the dark up into the light 
Picture
Deep Blue Sea 
Your sound seduces me.
With the ebb and return of the waves.
The caress of the tide on the sand puts my mind at ease. So serene.

Our sad hypocrisy. We poison the things we adore.
As the foul rivers flow with the mire til the reach the sea. Carelessly.

Deep blue sea there’s a world inside you. Shrouded in dark mystery.
You fill my soul like an ancient memory, haunting me.

We’ve felt your wrath before. With waves reaching up to the sky.
When the waters recede it reminds us how small we are. Helplessly.

Deep blue sea there’s a world above you. Living in sad misery.
Can we learn to live beside you, peacefully?

At times it frightens me. The awe that you feel when it roars.
Like a Queen, it demands your respect if you come to her recklessly.

​And on my dying day. I will come to your side once again. And my ashes will dance on your waves as you welcome me, gratefully.

Private Eye 
He’s with his mistress in the motel at the beach 
And all the jewelry he went and bought her with receipts 
You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me cuz I -  
I caught him sneaking down the street 
I saw him being indiscrete  
 
I’m a private eye, let me warn ya -  
I got all of the dirt you need 
It’s all right here in my camera 
The shady deals and the dirty deeds 
I’m a private eye, let me tell 
You want the truth you can count on me 
 
She’s on a yacht with her boss at mid-night, compromised 
My telephoto lens exposed her, and her lies 
You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me, cuz I 
I caught her trying to raise his sail 
That girl is such an epic fail 
 
Your husband claimed he was working late last friday night 
I got the pictures and what he told you wasn’t right 
You wanted proof, here it is, now pay me, cuz I 
I caught him rolling in the hay 
I guess you didn’t know he’s gay? ​

Ride A Wave
I know a thing or two about anxiety
How life can beat you up and knock you to your knee
​So, when my head needs healing
I get that ocean feeling

Ride a wave, ride a wave!
When the walls close in on me
I need that hydrotherapy

When I was young the teacher came and said to me
You're hyper active with a case of ADD
But, when my brain needs coolin' I've got my liquid schoolin' 


Ride a wave, ride a wave!
When your heads about to blow
There's a place where you can go


When it all goes south and you can't see out
The times in life we all go through
Remember your faith, be true to yourself 
But there's one more thing you ought to do......

Ride a wave, ride a wave!
When your heads about to blow
There's a place where you can go


You know we're all just tryin to make it through the day
We stress and grind cause we don't know another way
So, when you think you're fallin', just hear that ocean callin'

Ride a wave, ride a wave!
When the walls close in on you
There's one thing that you can do
Picture
Father Time
​I see his long white beard, his face is proud, and full of ancient lines 
He’s been riding high on pristine waves since the dawn of time 
Born upon the ocean, his cathedral, blue and green 
Salt sea air would fill his soul and wash his spirit clean 
 
He’s been to Honolua Bay, and rode the Pipeline too 
He even conquered Mavericks, in the spring of 92 
But now a wave is rising fast and it fills his heart with grief 
A deadly tide is rolling in to break him on the reef 
 
Father Time, he sees us, and he knows what we have done 
We filled the sea with plastic, left to rot there in the sun 
The ocean now is weeping, can’t you hear her desperate plea? 
As waves of trash come crashing down like tears upon the sea 
 
The ocean calls us to her like a thousand times before 
Water has a siren song that pulls us from the shore 
Now Father Time is begging us to make a sacred vow 
All of us who ride the waves must answer to it now 
 
A brotherhood, a sisterhood, a family to the sea 
Those that call the ocean home must rise and pay the fee 
To keep the water clean and pure and free from foul intentions 
Let our call be heard across the waves of every nation
