'Mattress in the Sand' from Black Dawg's 2023 self-titled debut album.
lyrics
Fly out of the city, on an April night
Arrive on an island, but something here ain’t right
I didn’t bring my silver, I didn’t bring any gold
Don’t see no castles, & baby there’s nowhere to go
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh x4
Came for the models, cause we’re VIP
No food no water, baby we’re living the dream
We paid for the bottles, a grand or more
But not for the coffins, cause I just came to score
You gotta give me something, You gotta get me right
Cause I’m used to something, Something just ain’t right
His partner in crime needs to take one
Take one, take two, take three for the team
Says he’ll get down if he needs to
get down, get down, get down on his knees
6 weeks til show time is nothing
When locals get you all you need
6 years hard time is nothing
When locals can’t get their own relief
You gotta give me something, You gotta get me right
Cause I’m used to something, Something just ain’t right
And I paid for nothing, But I paid the price
But I’m used to something, My something’s always nice
Ooh, ooh x2
We’re all here for the weekend, we came from far and wide
Every minute lasts forever yeah, and we’ve been taken, taken for a ride
We all want some shelter, just a mattress in the sand
We’ve been stuck now here forever, but somehow, somehow we’ll survive
Somehow, somehow baby we will survive
