[FIELD RECORDING]
(crickets clocking out. birds clocking in. a screen door with an opinion.)
"Careful with the arm. Pivot. PIVOT. Okay. Set her down."
(the couch touches the porch boards. somewhere, a rooster. not ours. but spiritually ours.)

[VERSE 1]
Six twelve in the morning and the fog is on the field,
Coffee in the camp mug, dew across the wheels,
The download finished back in spring, we're living in the file,
Summer said "come outside," so we carried out the couch.
Screen door keeping rhythm like it's paid to do the job,
The river's two roads down doing river things, thank God.

[HOOK]
Sunrise on Poplar Drive, (easy now)
Porch boards warm, we arrive, (easy now)
Same couch, brand new view,
Thursday, we've been waiting on you.

[VERSE 2]
Stream don't start till evening but the vibe don't check the time,
The basket's out here with us. It packed itself. That's fine.
Freeze pops in the side pouch. Since when? Don't ask questions.
Wednesday keeps providing. We just honor the blessing.
Destroy nods at the sun like they've got history,
Knowing him? They might. Man's a mystery.

[OUTRO]
(one melodica note from inside the house. just one. a promise.)
Today's the day. It's always the day. Let's go be legends slow.

[VERSE 1]
No sand between the toes, just crumbs, and honestly, respect,
The cushions got a tide, you lean back and you get wrecked,
We ride the middle seat like a longboard in a swell,
Eleven strong behind us and the current treats us well.

[PRE]
Wax down the armrest, (whoa) check the break, (whoa)
The recliner lever's loaded, don't hesitate.

[HOOK]
Couch surfin', (couch surfin') hang loose on the loveseat,
We ain't got an ocean, got a porch and a dream,
Couch surfin', (couch surfin') the river is our sea,
PA beach life, extra crispy and free.

[VERSE 2]
Sacktap drops in on the lever, smooth, no fear,
That's a frontside carve on faux suede, hold the sneer,
Destroy holds a pose like a statue built for grace,
The good chair rotates slowly. That's a barrel in chair space.

[BRIDGE]
When the winter comes we bring it back inside, (inside)
But the couch remembers summer like a tide. (a tide)
Every legend needs a break where the loading can't reach,
Close your eyes on Poplar Drive, any porch is a beach.

[HOOK x2]
(last hook a cappella, snaps only, one seagull who is lost)

Sacktap & Destroy - Couch Surfin' (Official Audio) | COUCH SURFIN'

The title track. No ocean in Pennsylvania, but the cushions have a tide and the river is close enough.

[VERSE 1]
Every ska band's got a horn line, so we went and got the best,
He's nine, he's had three lessons, he can nail two notes. We're blessed.
The trumpet is a rental and the case says PROPERTY OF SCHOOL,
He reads the chart, he takes a breath, he plays it wrong. It rules. (BAP! BAP!)

[HOOK]
Our horn section! (is in 4th grade!)
Our second horn! (is a Buick! It's Dad!)
The kazoos! (are a book club!)
And the bell! (DING!) That's Deb! That's the front door! WE SOUND HUGE!

[VERSE 2]
Dad idles in the driveway with the window halfway down,
Two honks right on the four, that's brass, that's a sound,
The book club brought their kazoos and a folder labeled CHARTS,
Margaret counts them in wrong every time. It still goes hard. (BAP!)

[BRIDGE: TRUMPET SOLO]
(He's going for the high one.)
(He's been talking about this all week.)
(...)
(HE GOT IT. HE GOT THE NOTE. THE NOTE IS REAL.)

[VERSE 1]
Noon says lunch, the river says float,
We put in at the eddy with the cooler and the hope,
Three tubes in formation, regulation, count them, three,
The bucket got its own tube. Captain of the fleet.

[HOOK]
Tube life, (whoa oh) let the current call the play,
We ain't paddling, that's a Monday thing. It's Thursday.
Tube life, (whoa oh) keep the crispy high and dry,
Eight piece riding shotgun underneath a perfect sky.

[VERSE 2]
Five tubers pulled up flexing with the speakers and the crew,
Then they saw the bucket riding solo and they knew,
Subscribed right there midstream, no bars, they did it in their hearts,
It counted when they hit the ramp. Sixteen. Do the math. That's charts.

[BRIDGE]
The rope swing leaned in whispering "sal flip,"
The river said no. The river has seen things.
We nodded at the water. The water nodded back.
Some tricks belong to God, and the DLC, and apparently the Delaware.

[HOOK]

[OUTRO]
(the current does the outro. we just ride it.)
Keep the crispy dry. (keep it dry) Keep the legend slow. (real slow)

[VERSE 1]
Two fifteen, we hear it, three streets to the east,
That little silver melody, the summertime beast,
It's got a hundred flavors and a route with no heart,
It never turns down Poplar. It's been breaking ours since March.

[HOOK]
Keep on rollin', (rollin') maybe turn down our street,
We got exact change ready and a family of subs, sweet,
Keep on rollin', (rollin') we'll be out here on the lawn,
Every Thursday, every summer, with the porch light on.

[VERSE 2]
The whole porch goes silent when the song floats past the trees,
Even the mosquitoes pause. Even the bees.
Destroy stands up slowly like a sailor scanning shore,
Then it fades toward Route 32 and we sit back down once more.

[BRIDGE]
(chimes getting louder)
Wait.
(louder)
It's slowing down. IT'S SLOWING DOWN.
(air brakes. the window slides.)

[FINAL HOOK, KEY CHANGE]
It stopped rollin'! (it stopped!) It's parked on our street!
And the man inside the window is the guy who brings the heat,
It's the pizza guy! (SUB NUMBER FIVE!) "Summer route, baby. I don't take Junes off."
Freeze pops for the whole porch, and the basket had napkins waiting.
It knew. It always knows.

Snacks are wherever I decided. Rules are as follows.
No standing during wakes. No doubting the nine hundo.
And if Margaret touches the aux, we ride with dignity."

BOOK CLUB (in unison): "DIGNITY."

DEB: "Boys." (two air horn blasts) "That's for the stream. Twenty-one and climbing."

(the pontoon slows. Deb removes her captain's hat.)

DEB: "This stretch of river sits directly beneath a certain frozen nine hundo.
You can't see it. That's not the point. Salute."

DEB: "Book club. Hands in. EXTRA."

[VERSE 1]
Herb from the bait shop caught the stream on his son's phone,
Said "you boys move product?" We said "define product." He said "worms."
Now we're officially sponsored, the contract was a handshake,
Plus a coupon and a firm nod. Herb doesn't do paperwork. Herb does eye contact.

[HOOK]
WE SOLD OUT! (to the bait shop!)
Paid in full! (in nightcrawlers!)
One t-shirt! (size triple X!)
We alternate Thursdays! It smells like the river! IT'S PERFECT!

[VERSE 2]
Mom reviewed the deal as label CEO. Her ruling:
"Strong regional synergy." Then she put the worms in the fridge door.
Herb subscribed on a flip phone. Nobody knows how he did it.
Seventeen strong, and the merch is alive. Literally. Keep the lid on it.

[BRIDGE]
Are we still punk? (Yes.)
Are we still rap? (Spiritually.)
Are we ska now? (We employ a child with a trumpet. So, legally.)
Did we compromise our art? (For worms.) FOR WORMS!

[VERSE 1]
Six o'clock, the sun leans low, the air gets thick and mean,
The swarm rolls up the porch steps like the rowdiest of scenes,
They didn't buy a ticket, they just heard there was a show,
The pit is now open. The pit is alive. Literally. Let's go.

[HOOK]
MOSQUITO PIT! (swat!) MOSQUITO PIT! (swat!)
The dance floor bites back, keep your elbows hot,
MOSQUITO PIT! (spin!) MOSQUITO PIT! (clap!)
Skanking is self-defense, this is cardio, THIS IS SKA!

[VERSE 2]
The book club pulled out hand fans like a synchronized brigade,
That's crowd control, that's wind machines, that's tour-level stagecraft, babe,
The bug zapper's on the two and four, our tightest session player,
Destroy just stands there. Nothing lands on Destroy. Ever. Pray for the swarm.

[BRIDGE]
(match strike)
We light the candle of diplomacy. (citronella summit)
Terms offered: the yard is yours. The porch is ours. The ankles are non-negotiable.
(the swarm considers)
(the swarm declines)
BACK TO THE PIT!

[VERSE 1]
Seven strikes in golden light, the whole sky runs on grease,
The order's in before the door goes ding. That's peace.
Deb slid two lemonades across, said "summer menu, boys,"
We poured a splash out on the curb. For the chip. The chip enjoys.

[HOOK]
Chicken o'clock at golden hour, grease and light agree,
Extra crispy in the sunset, that's church for you and me,
Same eight piece, same corner booth, same covenant, same crew,
Three albums deep in chicken and it still tastes brand new.

[VERSE 2]
The banner got repainted, TWENTY-ONE in gold,
Four came off the truck route. Bless the summer whip's payroll.
The cousin got a junior meal and a fountain drink to boot,
He saluted with the drumstick. Deb saluted with the scoop.

[BRIDGE]
Chapter one, we screamed it. (Thursday)
Chapter two, we rapped it. (extra crispy)

[VERSE 1]
It did pull-ups all winter in the rain, alone, outside,
We watched it through the window getting stronger, terrified,
Then June came around and it showed up at the steps,
Folded flat and humble. That's chair for "I know what I did."

[HOOK]
We forgave the folding chair! (kind of!)
It's back on the porch! (probation!)
It held the bucket with honor! (no creaks!)
Redemption is real! (terms apply!) REDEMPTION IS REAL! (see attached!)

[VERSE 2]
The terms are very simple, and the napkin has them all:
No creaking during clutch moments. No lurking in the hall.
No eye contact with the good chair for thirty days minimum,
And Thursdays it holds the bucket. That's an honor. That's the podium.

[BRIDGE]
Everybody's got a folding chair inside them. (that's so true)
(is it?) (I don't know, but the key change is coming) (HERE IT COMES)

[KEY CHANGE HOOK]
WE FORGAVE THE FOLDING CHAIR! (mostly!)
The good chair rotated once! (slowly!) That's acceptance! (legally binding!)

Nine forty-seven, sky wide open, not a cloud on the map,
The router blinked twice, then it held. It held. One bar. Full gap.
We didn't touch a thing. You don't wake a miracle.
We just pressed go live, real quiet, like a prayer with a peripheral.

[HOOK]
One bar of summer, burning gold and true,
Twenty-two thousand miles and it all came through,
We're live, we're actually live, no wheel in the sky,
Tonight the legends don't load. They arrive.

[VERSE 2]
The chat moved in real time, we'd never seen it run,
Margaret's grandkids subbed mid-stream. Twenty-three. That's everyone and then some.
The fireflies out by the fence line blinked along with the upload light,
Even the satellite leaned closer. Even the dish stood upright.

[VERSE 1]
Eleven fifty-eight, the stream's been down an hour,
The lemonade's just ice now, the couch has lost its power,
The moths are running orbits round the light above the door,
Twenty-three strong tonight. We've never been this many before.

[HOOK]
Leave the porch light on, (leave it on)
For whoever's still out floating, still finding their way home,
Leave the porch light on, (leave it on)
The couch goes in come autumn, but the light stays on.

[VERSE 2]
The bucket's empty, honorably. The folding chair stood guard.
The cousin fell asleep mid-sentence with the trumpet in his arms.
Somewhere down the river, one pontoon is idling slow,
Deb does one last lap on Thursdays. Everybody knows.

[BRIDGE]
One Thursday, start to finish, and we didn't miss a thing,
