about
To Big City
lyrics
I thought they had turned on the turnpike lights
that my trousers were done done up
trespassing the clouds
you can choose the bun, the sauce, the meat, the dressing and the filling
I want, I wanna hire safe drivers
hideaway from the assorted shades of blue,
white and gray
I’m not a rock, I am an island
it’s Interstate eighty, it’s 18-wheelers
and 70 miles per hour car speed limit,
limit
I thought I hadn’t trickled
down the seat, down the sea
AM 1280
just oldies, just oldies
VS25
I need 20 people
a million cat’s eyes
golf fields with measles, yes, with measles
I’m tired of waiting for you to decipher my codes
I have to speed up with my right foot’s big toe
the last line of trees is an overexposed
photograph, each bridge asks for silence
index to its mouth, meanwhile,
staring at the mirror,
we wait for revolution to come
but we should buckle up
‘cause it’s the law
