Lyrics Trance Manual - John Vanderslice

Trance Manual

Cross the palisade
At the Holiday Inn
See the Mujahideen barricades
Just walk right through
Past the bullhorns
And sleepy 47s
Right by the Coalition guards
I’m in the back of the second floor basement
I’ll have my editors
Arrange for payment
Come to me now
You are warming weather
Come to me now
The kind that comes with
Sandbags along the river
Wear your aqua mirabilis
Dotted on your pulse points
A miraculous transformation
My aching joints
You are a vision in the air
Cheap lipstick, bleached hair
Oh dressed like that
You are a flag of a dangerous nation
Oh dressed just like that
You are some kind of declaration
Come to me now
You are warming weather
Come to me now
The kind that comes with
Sandbags along the river
Here cowboy bars
And dance clubs don’t exist
The trance manual says just stand alone
And then shift and shift
Come to me now
You are warming weather
Come to me now
The kind that comes with
Sandbags along the river
