lyrics

Our quarterly pursuit of youth
Quarterly sayers of sooth
What is sooth? Better pull the next tooth before you shoot
Point the trigger at the hoof
Does Joe seem a bit aloof,
Ninety proof, let’s drink scotch on the roof, our shot at truth

A late night liquor run
Senescent su-n
We can’t outgun
Before dawn learns your scent
The eau de de-bt
Better run

How did you end up here
Beef jerky and weak beer
Bruce just lost his left ear (Duck!)
Dawn has now caught your scent
You can’t make re-nt
Just crash here

Our quarterly pursuit of death
The truck bed still smells like meth
Huff a breath, don’t misspell “shibboleth”, stop and go lights
Future’s got you in its sights
Why’d you move out of the heights?
Your last rites, time to count those egg whites, no second bites

Oh Christ we hit an elk
We’d better st-op
It’s 3 A M
His hands still match the clock
No antlers show in
The rear view

How did you end up here
Beef jerky and weak beer
Bruce just lost his right ear (Duck!)
You made the local news
Don’t leave no clu-es
You’re safe here

A windowless basement
Shag carpet, gu-ns
Roy Orbison
Leers on a cd box
His prey he stalks
Forever

How did we end up here
The whisky tastes like fear
Bruce chokes back bourbon tears
At least you won’t pay rent
Cops taste your sce-nt
You can’t stay here
