I once saw a fish jump out of the water; it didn’t stop now it just kept going I once saw a fish jump out of the water; it didn’t stop now it didn’t stop now Once I saw him over them butter pines with them aeroplanes in the deep blue sky Said he took it easy round them turny bines cause once he got caught and Spin spin spin… Coro Newton once said cause the apple fell, that everything’s got to come back down But I know I fish that blew the truth, said I know a fish that blew the truth... That gravity sucks…. Coro

The last time I felt memories that made me break down a seeing stars was just a month ago, how I remember so I went to the Genesee store to see if Archie had hooked up on his Betsy B. and, not to be displeased, front on the icy breeze and I’m back through the middle and the back ads through start to notice that I’m fixing on you, and them bells are bragging lights off in the distant sight and I’m back through the middle and ill sing it again start to notice I’m your bestest friend and that’s my final clue, that were bound to run to go.... down down down down down to the other side of town well the second time I put my hand in flames got caught in the middle of a drunken James it aint just like I thought said I done and fought with everyone that I ever knew, takes a while until you find it true that no one heals so quick, like if they were never sick, but look and look until you find, strains of something to distract the mind then you before you know, you walked out the final door with all your bags and dressed to the nines you know you're going but you don’t know why and now that’s the second clue that I’m bound to run to go Coro and lastly id just like to say from the other side o heaven and the gates o hell it all just looks the same, I ask you who to blame cause if it ain´t god nor the devil himself id say its from the mind of our own selves that keeps us so unsure as to why life’s a blur I tell you once and I tell you twice but why take the word of an honest liar if you too can decide what kind of face you wear when they blow the ashes in your eyes just when you thought that the best disguise would take you far from hear well you're bound to run to go down

Mr. Man 02:23
Now don’t you call me brother, I’d rather you call me Mr. man And keep your dirty hands off my grill And why don’t you tell your sister just why you had to let her drown In Owl creek way down by the dell And tell another story Mr. iron man bout the time that you kicked off the pill Ill be here a listening with a tired sight cause you clearly have and un-muttered will. Now why don’t you tell a story, I’d rather tell them one of yours as I just don’t think that mine would fit the bill and don’t leave out no details, you cant forget one drop of blood nor one punch that you took to the teeth Now tie me up and call me Susan with me you ‘ve got to pay with thrills Its okay if you’ve got to tell me twice And I remember cause I was there and I swear that I won’t tell no one cause everybody’s got to tell some lies

Tip-Top 03:53
The whole thing works so slow from the beginning, tip-top’s on your mind before you know and I hear your voice a screaming from the pillow just breathe on in and deep to start the show I said that you and me are going to take it far Take in puffs o glue until the strays are straw But I never thought id ever have to see The same old type of smoke that came out of you and me Well I say, no don’t get alarmed girl, things are gonna turn out aok I promise you and your grandmother, ill not waste you for the day I said everything that was around all on my face is painting Working so hard to put myself on feet I been jump jumping all morning on this bed lord Wont you try to give me help to make me me I see everyone over my shoulder And I don’t like just how they disappear I see that everyone gets closer and closer, and that’s just what I start to begin to fear Its that when I reach to touch theres no one there, and I cant get myself from beneathe the chair Ive got them freaks that keep on riding all night long But im gonna make the same time while the will is strong But I cant take no more of this tip-top, you gonna have to get her off my mind Its that shes been sitting on my shelf all day now, making blames just to pass my time

Well now Jumping Jacobs jumped the fence of the old town opry Hiding down two bottles of shade way down his old pant leg Well he reached up to the bandstand as the band began to play And grabbed the first old lady he seen and he said let’s shake a leg Well the two of them went dancing they went dancing left and right Well the two of them went dancing now on late into the night Till the lady she put all tight, cause she didn’t want to start a fight And Jumping Jacobs jumped the ride and gave himself away Coro Well I’ll take you down to Mexico and show you all the things we need To live our lives in harmony with out that shit called greed you know I can hear them bottles crashing near and I can hear them crashing wide And I don’t know how much time we got to get to the borderline No once again. Well in Las Vegas they said you could win if you only took a chance And Jumping Jacobs walked her there a looking to a dance And he took his lady wide he took her long you see him strong But I fought myself and I fought them demons just like you need them gone Coro

Never thought id feel lonesome, boy I guess I was wrong When you’re, sitting there blue with a gram in your hand And two angels by your side… Wouldn’t you know? Never thought I’d feel ugly, boy I guess I was wrong When you, stare your self down to long in the mirror You forget just who you are… Wouldn’t you know? Never thought id feel vengeful, boy I guess I was wrong When you’re, picking your teeth all up off of the floor And your open fist is raw… Wouldn’t you know? Coro Well I, saw you by the bayou, way down by them railroad tracks You wasn’t up to nothing, with a hatchet in your hand I know that’s where they found her, little girl with a bloodied neck But you know that I won’t say nothing, cause you’re my best friend yet

about

Gringo Moko Oakland, California

The bulk of Gringo Moko's discography was composed improvisationally, from his time playing at bars and on buses across Guatemala. His sound is rooted in up-tempo Cumbia and Balkan beats, intermingled with folk, gospel, and alternative influences, and calls on a medley of improvised, digital, and DIY instruments to form the uniquely patchwork playstyle of his lively, high-energy live shows. ... more
