Red Letter Year |
New years eve we dropped mushrooms |
And danced around the house |
Making music with everything that we found |
Incantation replaced resolution and we |
Vowed to allow each perfection that we could be |
And the goddesses sent word that this would be a red letter year |
They didn’t mention how much shit was gonna change around here |
It’s just as well we weren’t swollen with unfocused dread |
We had visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads |
Dancing in our heads |
First you go under and then you coming up gives you the bends |
And when you break the surface |
And all you see is your friends |
So you grab your purple crayon |
And flesh out the picture behind |
And finally the whole world is made of one unbroken line |
One unbroken line |
When you wake up sick as a dog |
With dull eyes and really bad hair |
Standing under a lit sign with the words «on air» |
And the water is rising |
It’s coming in everywhere |
Just remember you are there |
You are always, always there |
And representing the white race |
Is a man with a monkey for a face |
Is flying over in a helicopter |
Whistling dixie and playing dumb |
In a town that might put a gun to your throat |
Or rip the roof right off of your place |
There’s a mold crawling up the walls |
And falling asleep in your lungs |
And you and i both know how to drink so |
We will always have work in this town |
And besides the police are stationed at the bridge |
And they’re preventing passage to higher ground |
So let’s pull up a bar stool and get ourselves a ring side seat |
For one unnerving moment |
They’re gonna show the truth on tv |
