lyrics

Meaning: urban and suburban isolation, shamelessly ripped from J. Alfred Profrock’s neurotic suicide letter.

Go down these half-eaten streets
And tired baseball cleats
And great silk bedsheets
And you find me stuck at
The corner of Morgan and Carnegie
In the room the women go

They bother me with inquiry
And antiquity and self-esteem
Give me the introvert fee
It’s quite obscene
Wrap around machinery
And base it all on that I see
Come and go into the dream
Come and go fuck into me

My life runs ever so slow
My life runs too slow now
I can’t release the sapling
Representative me

Up and down the modern street
Witness alienation
As I grow oh so old
And my head shiny to bald
And my dreams obscene
Francisco out of reach

They inquire with assurance
And they want insurance
For everything, they own, it
Is with reach, enhance
With altered reading, dance
Like modern tribes, fast
In every I and T, last
Me up until I be vast

My life runs ever so slow
My life runs too slow now
I can’t release the sapling
Representative me

Come and go
Come and go into my soul
Come and go
Come and lay
Inside me

Lay me down in the sea
Away from respectable air
And let me drown
Asphyxiate.
