Written rapidly and recorded only moments later, this song is a smelly affirmation on a hot summer desert night. Played on a toy guitar. In retrospect, I think that the beginning part may have been inspired by the work of Holy Sons from Portland, OR.

A golden era of manipulation
Come on along.
The full-time stink prevails, I've got the digs to outlast a lifetime.
You might encounter the enormous luck of joy -
You hope.
But you'll never have to think how it hurts to be forgotten.
