Golden Smog are a loosely connected group of musicians (arguably a supergroup) comprised, at various times, of members of Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Wilco, The Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, The Honeydogsand Big Star. The group took their name from the name of a Flintstones character, which, in turn, was a parody of singer Mel Torm's nickname; the Velvet Fog. The group first came together in the Minneapolis area in 1989 as a country-rockreaction to the punkand hardcoremusic that dominated the Twin Cities' musical scene at the time; eventually Golden Smog became something of a fixture at local clubs, where they would play a handful of shows annually. Golden Smog's lineup has often changed, though Run Westy Runguitarist Kraig Johnsonas well as guitarists Dan Murphy( Soul Asylum) and Gary Louris( The Jayhawks) were relative constants. The definitive beginning of Golden Smog is hard to pinpoint given the mercurial nature of the band's lineup.

Verse 1
[d]saw your eyes light up the [g or g6add5]horizon

Verse 2
Hearing sirens on the street
Getting closer, please dont stop
Race wont be with these feet
Even closer comes the drop

Making waves in the bathroom
The time it saves, its the last room

Verse 3
In the chair I thought you were sleeping
Your eyes rolled back, your lips blue
It was a drag to be dragging
You down the hall til you came to

Making waves in the bathroom
The time it saves, its the last room
