The third track from the Out of Print Andy the Doorbum EP "The Salisbury EP"
lyrics
The train is moving much, much slower
Slower than I am.
I'd tell you that I won't regret it
But I would be lying.
The tension adds up, now somebody's getting evicted.
I spent the last of all my money
So now I will smoke it.
Does Paris feel good in the summer?
Right now I should be in New Orleans.
The cloud is a roll, sky is butter.
And you hang my head over water.
The train's on a bridge we are crossing.
Imagine, but I still don't see it.
I'm falling off. I do not feel it.
But still I know its realer than Hell.
I tried to navigate unsurpassable darkness.
Once it is lit, if you burn it, watch your step.
I went to swim in the gulf of the Mexican.
Or so I thought, wants combating what I got.
Tales in the sand, the road warriors of Baja.
Why aren't I there? Why am I not?
Why isn't it moving north
Maybe half way, to meet me.
Like a good friend.
Like a kind, fine, sweet, nice friend.
Until the end...
So it begins...
And someday I'll be rich
But I don't know what it means
To be happy, happy, happy.
Zit between my shoulder blades
I know what it means
To be happy, happy, happy.
Tosses you a nugget that you better believe.
You say "I know, I know, I know."
Sharpened cartilage point and it is cherishing me
As a rhino, rhino, rhino.
Rhinoceros... I heard you're going extinct.
Like the Florida Panther and its hide that's still soaking in my American kitchen sink.
Rhino, rhino, rhino, rhinoceros.
You're a pretty blue.
Like the tiger they caught on a lonely east U.S. mountain.
Let's prey to whoever or whatever,
That it escaped from a zoo.
I'm ratting out my accomplices
Because they deserve it.
And we have fire for a reason
So let's fucking burn it.
I saw you tamper with my torches
So I will release you
To the custody of dying machines.
The kerosene heater.
