about

A song about hitting rock bottom in Reno. What a way to go.

lyrics

DON’T LET ME DIE AT COCO’S

One moment of truth makes up for a whole day of dishonesty.
Making peace with blood
Licking your wounds with grace.
And learning humble tactics:
How to get up shaking from a stumble before the sun.

Oh well the change we go through.
Oh well the stains we leave on cities.
Angry angry roads pricked with with people rolling forward like onions and slaves.
Stretched before you in television pain.

The frowns in the towns…
Mental mental, it’s fundamental.
… and the pities in the cities.

Don’t let me die at Coco’s
Don’t let me die at Coco’s
Where monkey meets man and the monkey is a machine.

More like an ape than an ape itself.
I need to gamble for my health.
One number short on Keno.
Louie’s Basque Corner in Reno.
Words fail to heal. (Trump card rumbles)

And The highway home is pounded out by hand.
Can you squeeze a little pain from the stone?
You better hold on to your sensitive self.
Or someone will rip it out for you. (Like the Fifties)

Don’t let me die of Coco’s
Don’t let me die of Coco’s
Where monkey meets man and the monkey is a machine

Featuring the founding members of acclaimed alt-country band I SEE HAWKS IN L.A., Stoney Spring still has one toe in American roots music. But songs like Revenge Rock, New Blood and Swimming Class bring to mind a bold hybrid of Captain Beefheart and mid-'70s Neil Young.
The driving force behind Stoney Spring is Anthony Lacques, the Hawks' original drummer and still one of its songwriters. ... more
