standing here in Tom's garage with this microphone
can't help but think of all the times the parties and the shows
in artsy spaces pagan places far too smoky bars
singing blues and paying dues in overloaded cars
seems it all comes back to me in shades of hope and fear
meanwhile our society don't even know I'm here
don't even know that the dream come true they call reality
is just some beast with electric breath rising stomping from our sea
Garagezilla Garagezilla Garagezilla
sitting here in this small room writing down these lines
can't help but feel there's just no way to say what's on my mind
I remember stormy weather misty freeway lanes
youth grows old we not so boldly lean upon our canes
I used to think that happiness is something to achieve
I even thought eternal truth is something to believe
I even thought that the dream come true I called reality
was just a dog with a mythic tail till it stomped all over me
Garagezilla Garagezilla Garagezilla
standing here in Tom's garage alone I'm not alone
cause I know what lives upstairs perpetually grows
deeper wider blacker whiter shine these night-blue stars
bidding us to be the driver not to be just cars
seems it all comes back to me in shades of hope and fear
meanwhile our society don't even know I'm here
don't even know that the dream come true they call reality
is just some beast with electric breath rising stomping from our sea
