lyrics

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
