lyrics

It is snowing in a place just like this
the wind grips the tree and whispers couplets
"Okay…I agree, the cops are all pricks"

You haven’t had a drink in a couple of years
So I order two beers and pour one out
Gotta make a living somehow

It’s pouring outside, we’re heading home on the train
I wanna take a walk but Prospect Park is sunken rain
I don’t do anything when the clouds cry
Except stay inside and think of what I’ll do when the ground’s dry
Tomorrow is the coming, water’s running down the siding

-----

I hid in laterals, deep and subliminal
As peeled altars sheltered the fearful townspeople
Leaders leapt from windows, a village all desperate
To survive a spell aerated from villains all hellbent
Or at least not suffer any worse

Altered pleas do not appease a beast that showers skin with grease
Curse the godhand that feeds the palpable spellcasters’ splendor
After feasting young, they palate elders:
Human farm-stand
Pillage long planned

-----

There’s win for life at the station
but I don’t got the palms or the patience
I’m gonna walk inside
pay for spitting extra life
from a bleeding machine
This place it reeks like the hock of a brush
I’m high as fuck, my window’s stuck
A man on a harley sharpied a barbie
on his arm and he served in the army

I was walking thru town and I saw all the lights
and it was too bright, it was too bright
I been this way since a young tike
spitting in the face of twisted clown on a bike
our metal to metal, self tapping screws on the shelf by the level
next to best truths and a bottle of Tanqueray, when it gets empty I level accusations at her or myself, once you find out, shadows of streetlights partition the days
and who's straight and who's gay
so I let the 8 ball tell me what to say
