lyrics

Playing it cool, or playing it dead,
Another fucker calling you a space cadet,
A hand on your thigh, unsolicited—
The blood spills the oil slicks!

Laugh at the joke, dagger the eyes—
The vitriol aftertaste of playing it nice.
Deescalate till they apologize
And go try it again with the next guy.

A parking lot charlatan, mercurial lies.
An enfant terrible of peculiar size says
“We could build anything! We scuffed up the skies!
We built this strip mall here twenty thousand times!
We did it for Jesus Hellfire Christ.”

A bird on a wire, a ripening debt,
A bit of witty banter at the laundromat,
The tick of the clock, the click of the flint—
The blood spills, the oil slicks!
