lyrics

Back in front of the old flickering screen
We put up our hands and all say "weeee!"
in perfect sync with that old stock-footage
of the Little Red Wagon running free

This time the club is an asymmetrical Greyhound
Barreling blindly through a barbed wire desert town
A town laid out with the violence of a chess board
Spangled with identical fonts in a font war
And billboards that don't even bother to look up as they flip you off anymore

So I look out the window and what did I see?
I see my own self staring back at me
But somehow to mention it would be bad poetry
cuz I only circle that drain when life enters
her hellish circular swing of unrelenting logic and I can't find the art to forgive her
so instead I look around for what in me needs tending to

Being crushed to death by a giant Eye
is not whats meant by the examined life
and it annoys the woman on the seat to my right
so she stands and she flicks off the overhead light
we picked ourselves up a little wandering chorus
that reeks of sage and hails itself a support group
for those who are ashamed of their shame of their love of cliches
Cliches like the greyhound to Louisiana
And not being killed by this old hammer
But rather killing yourself when you're stripped of your right
to be vulnerable when you're up in front of a microphone
and the kiddies in the back all stand up and scream
that punk is the reason that art is an adjective
and art is the reason that punk was an accident
and sex is the reason this place is inhabited
and love is the reason I can't fuckin relax
and love is the reason that art is a fact
and art is the reason that things are Okay
and none is the reason the Little Red Wagon gave
for running away when it felt like it had its fix
