lyrics

i got back into wrestlin' in a pretty bad depression
when i wasn't sure who i wanted to be
a raver girl samurai caught my eye
and it seems silly but she meant a lot to me
she was style she was grace and she refused to know her place
a shameless brat who'd never back down from a fight
and when she won the grand prix for a second it seemed
like everything in my world was alright

i wished i was more like hana kimura
pretty and brash and strong and so sure of myself
i wished i didn't need help
wanted to make my problems go away
with a running start and a kick in the face
yes sir
wanted to be like her

i remember when i saw her for the first time out of character
on some dating show just trying to find love
she was blunt but she was sweet and she was loud but she was meek
she hid her face when she was talking to her crush
sad eyes and nervous laughter she would yell and then cry after
and i know that you can fake it on tv
but i couldn't help but feel that she was being kind of real
and it shocked me she reminded me of me

i felt a lot like hana kimura
saying too much anxious unsure of myself
always fragile as hell
but doing my best to cover it up
like it's fine if i just smile bright enough yes sir
i guess i was like her

and if you're listening to this song you probably know that she's passed on
and this isn't the best place to tell that story
but even though i didn't know her i still wish i could have told her
that she helped me through a lot and that i'm sorry

Being super into Western music, cowboys, etc. is a meme to some people. Not to us. This album roars into existence with a driving 12-bar blues and keeps up the energy for 40 straight minutes, bouncing to every esoteric corner of the genre and everywhere in between with perfect execution. Listen to this album, then listen to it again to get all the stuff you missed the first time around. Instant classic. coyotewall
