beachrat 03:07
look at me i'm a pitfall slider sharp as a tack as i bum around Breathless hopefully there's a lot more to me cause lord knows the outside got nothin to spare i know ya dreamin of some cocktail thunder but look in my eyes, does it seem like i care? cause i do and it's the lie that kills me a double-jointed heart with a deadbeat stare another vice under boardwalk and the splinters and wear speak to me, it's a nice, rich cherry but you couldn't tell, on account of the glare it's like a cross of a hitchhike rover with the scum that you meet at the base of the stairs casually i leave town burnin, an irish goodbye like a polar bear i'm too cold to move on just like that i don't want your righteous pity for the plight of the beach rat it's like heated pools and painted flags you never need them til you NEED them

ridin out of memphis, across the mississippi as the sun melts away the dashboard i had no one to speak for in oklahoma city so i touched down in amarillo the town was dry at the hour of night and the heat was hangin in the air another route 66 helium mine just wasted, i don't care just move me on west, keep on pushin til i touch the sea and if no god'll save us then i'll see you in vegas - call me, i'll leave you a room key road into albuquerque bout the middle of the day, there was no one who could help me move went about the old town in a demon sway my thoughts went rojo oh! verde spent the night up in the hills out along the border with the stars so clear, and the stars so right sordid peaceful beauty keeps my soul a-burnin let's me rest my head at night

wanna dig up some reflective paint gonna float you some, gonna do it in cross-stitch if it comes undone, we know no misery it was pins and needles while it lasted oh baby, you make me feel like a stranger you make me wanna sleep just to get away and that's how it is, it's just this imminent danger your tremblin eyes, i'm trying to allay steady my hand on the drivin wheel and i was starin at space (you were starin at nothin) got a bleeding heart and some electric tape gonna keep it well, gonna wrap it in plastic

gridlock 03:14
i feel like a dog shittin by the side of the road on his last limbs eatin by mosquitoes, and the acorn bombs a-fallin a hundred feet high in the jungle in the night all i hear's the cars, a-hittin, the ruts and the holes and the soundwaves needn't bounce along the railcars, out a style and obsolete between the highway sinkin under underground and my eyes are dry beyond repair so i steal a glance beyond what's there i wrinkled my jacket, could you straighten me out? the city chews me up with small talk "how's ya weekend?" "just the same" i'm just dyin as i live for such, a raincoat misanthropy resolved- it's in my sightline with the skyline fadin red
