SONG LYRICS

Get a load of that with the snakeskins on
Looks like a refugee from a head bangin` song
Sweet July evening, seems all the world we`ve ever known
Is here at the breaker, shakin` them restless bones
Brown baggin` as the music`s draggin` on a cheap cassette machine
Honey, I know no matter where we go
We`re gonna keep us a piece of this routine

Chorus:
Like a rembrandt....
A one of a kind in a shades-of-grey world
Like a rembrandt, baby.......
A genuine find in a come and go swirl

World`s in the moonlight, there`s diamonds in the coal
Layin` on my hood we`re runnin` soul in soul
Yellin` out my name, I think I know who that was
This moment`s got me higher than a black coffee buzz
Come on girl, you can call your boss and fake a case of the flu
You and me, we can cast some shadows
In that nightlight your mama left on for you

Repeat Chorus

Drinkin` domestic on a night as majestic
As a true hell raiser`s bliss
Every workin` day they take a little more away
But they don`t know of a social affair as redeeming as this
Same tapes as last week, but that makes `em cool
Same grooves, same times, drives the social tool
If this here is heaven then the saints are reelin`
Some of them crawlin` on a tall grass ceilin`
Honey, if life don`t give us any more - it gave us a season
To groove `neath the stars at the number 9 breaker
Not askin` for answers or reasons

Repeat Chorus
