lyrics

-Which way should I go?
-That depends a good deal on where you wanna get to.
-I don’t care, really, where…
-Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.
-…so long as I get somewhere…
-You’re sure to do that, if you only walk long enough.

And I’ll keep it on the low, oh
On the low shelf my babe, and I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, yeah
Yes, I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, we’re running outta maybes
You know many have seen how we roll into our haven
Lift my foot, step up, we’re inside our garden hills
We stay there and we trippin ‘til we start to get the chills
No I don’t need money, mansions nor expensive cars
I just wanna keep the trips and the gems in my guitars
Sitting down by the tree, just my friends, my girl and me
And the stars up in the sky are the diamonds we can see, yeah

And I’ll keep it on the low
Yes, I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby, yeah
And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high
Yes, I’ll keep it on a high, on a high

Layin’ in the sand in the supernovas
We were stuck and suddenly we ran in fear
when we saw the great white chuck
We ran so fast, we flew away into the stars
We’ll be forever young, we’ll surf the dunes in Mars
We’ll wait until it’s late when everyone’s asleep so we can get baked
But the Queen’s paranoia always kept her awake

Yes I’ll keep it on the low, on the low shelf my babe,
And I’ll keep it on the low shelf, baby
And on the low shelf, my babe,
And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high
And I’ll keep it on a high, on a high

We keep on dancing to the rhythm of Bob Marley
But she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali
I think we worry too much
When we can’t even feel our own touch

We keep on dancing to the rhythm of Bob Marley
But she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali
I think we worry too much
When we can’t even feel our own touch

We keep on dancing, keep on dancing, to the rhythm of Bob Marley
And she just feels like she’s trippin’ balls in Cali
Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna make it
Sometimes I feel like my soul can take it
But I know that I won’t take it anymore

Yes, I’ll keep it on the low.

Back To Earth El Salvador

Sometimes we see the need to rise above our present circumstances... to realize that life is much more than the pain we feel in this moment... that there is beauty all around us, if we will just look for it. When we come back to earth, music is what keeps us going, helps us to process what we experience and enjoy life to its fullest. Our mission here is simple, spread the light. ... more
