"Space Ghost Coast To Coast" lyrics

"Space Ghost Coast To Coast"

Said to you, "Why did you do it?"
Touch the glass, I'll feel you through it
Against the wall with the bracelets on
You look bizarre in the apricot

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
Fuck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Gotta be all that coco, eyy?
Playin' too much of that GTA
Playin' too much of that Dr. Dre
Doom, Quake, where'd you get the gun from, eh?

Really think that metal gonna make you safe?
Playin' peek-a-boo with the devil these days
Black cap back with a trench coat, eyy
Living in the valley cuttin' porno tapes

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
Fuck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Were you bored of gender norms?
Of bein' alone, no mama home
A bad divorce, or sad we can't
Afford the clothes our heroes own

Remember when you stole
Mom's old Geo Metro?
You wore her old bath robe
Too small to see the road

We were just two Texas toddlers
Pokemon and bottle rockets
Dunkaroos and real monsters
Capri Sun straw in the bottom

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
Fuck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

Heard you were lookin' up the cookbook, names
Cut into the back of your bedroom door frames
Super villain with a manifesto, dang
Gotta say I'm pretty glad they caught you, man

Get back to the kickball days
Scared to hold hands at school disco days
007 Nintendo games
Burnin' Hot Pockets in the microwave

You think that you're Space Ghost
You're wanted coast to coast
Fuck that shit, now I go
My way and you go yours

"Space Ghost Coast To Coast" was first mentioned by the band in the setlist of the band's "Déjà Vu Tour" in 2020. It was performed during the shows in Boston and Chicago.
Dave Bayley told Flood magazine the following about the meaning of this song, "It's when someone who you think you'll always trust, even if you're not in contact, does something that you think is unspeakably horrible and you can never forgive them. It's thinking back on that, and how someone can change so much in such a short time."
"...actually it's Mixedbyali who's one of Dr. Dre proteges, mixed the song for us in the end, which was really like, nice icing on the cake," explained Dave Bayley in an interview for TheAUReview.com.
