Rudy is a cigarette Smoking in a turtle neck Rudy is a cigarette Oh yeah. His fro is tobacco Don't you be a space cadet Rudy is a cigarette Oh yeah. Why can't you see? Cigs are Rudy. Smoking like a chimney. He writes songs for Mao Zedong. He loves doing Pirouettes. Rudy is a cigarette. Oh yeah. His fro is tobacco Don't you be a space cadet Rudy is a cigarette. Oh yeah. Why can't you see? Cigs are Rudy. Smoking like a chimney. Rudy pays off student debt By networking on the internet (Linked in). Now he's selling cigarettes.

I’m in your love-drunk fire Smelling like bonfire smoke. You flame me, ohhh rearrange me You make me the man nobody knows. I'll make your night and coffee roast. WOAH LOLA, no more hullabaloo. WOAH LOLA, I’m never tired of you. All I want to do is spend the day with you. All I want to do is fool around with you. When your lips go silent, You just crank my stereo. You raise me, ohhh rearrange me You make me the man nobody knows. I'll make your night and coffee roast. WOAH LOLA, no more hullabaloo. WOAH LOLA, I’m never tired of you. All I want to do is spend the day with you. All I want to do is fool around with you.

Hot Drunk Summer Fun 03:08

(Aww yea! Pneumonia! Leslie’s house? Hard core! This summer’s gonna be the best one ever! Yea! Yea!) My office is on fire; my future’s looking bright. Let’s picnic with brains on some bagel bites. It's a beautiful day (hey! hey!) wanna go for a drown? (sure!) I know this secret spot where no one is around. This summer is gonna be the best one ever! 4X Let’s shotgun a beer… Oops… I forgot the beer. This summer’s been awesome, but I'd kill for a career. Cruising with the top down! (hey! hey!) Tinder date in the trunk. When she screams for help, I tell the cops, "she's drunk." This summer is gonna be the best one ever! 4X Gimme the lowdown in the U.S.A Eating people everyday in the U.S.A I mean we party! in the U.S.A And we are cisgender straight in the U.S.A Summer loving, crazy! Always rising me & you & the ocean too. Baby, you shine like an oil spill More pure than any tap water. There's a bloodbath in the streets and I'm dancing in the rain. They put me in a jail cell but I'll be back again. Next summer is gonna be the best one ever! 4X

Traveling On 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Raised an athlete in a small town Soon my head became a stereo My mother cried when I met jazz tobacco He was friendly like the wackos with bright ideas Bursting right through their fro Guitars became my way of talking I started seeing the vibrancy I was with my lady having naked coffee in the morning Nightswimming when the summer moonlight gleamed Feel like laughing and traveling Feel like the wind just a breezing Going down the road Mountains and rivers were calling The naked simple truth I cared to know Jumping in the truck at the crack of dawn Breathing in that new blue sky and camping in alpenglow Feel like laughing and traveling Feel like the wind just a breezing Going down the road, down the road Going down the road

about

This was the final record that Alpine Ghost put out post-college as a result of an independent study between Will and Steven, haphazardly named "The Best Thing Since Sliced Brains" as it fit with the tongue-in-cheek vibe and modern murder ballad of "Hot Drunk Summer Fun." Now in it's 2022 rerelease, the bonus track of "Traveling On" has been added and remastered.
