about

This one never got a proper title, we always just called it Barney Garden because it sounded like Soundgarden playing the theme to Barney Miller.

lyrics

BARNEY GARDEN

Can’t afford this city or to move to somewhere else
Looking deeply in your eyes I don’t see any help
Haven’t left home but I’m already lost
Burning bridges that I haven’t even crossed

Hate mistakes that others make
Can’t catch mine till it’s too late
Let the conspiracy theories be true
Just let me say, babe I love you

Hey what’s that red stuff on my fender?
Just drop the gun, man, I surrender
So long as someone knows what’s going on
Just give me something I can count on

Like my buddy said when they let him walk
“Prison is free and I like to suck cock”
I belong inside cuz my mind’s messed up
I respect anybody who has fessed up

More perspective possible
This spy’s life is awful dull
Just like my skull

Hey what’s that red stuff on my fender?
Just drop the gun, man, I surrender
So long as someone knows what’s going on
Just give me something I can count on
