about

It's funny cuz it's true.

lyrics

Wipers are squeaking beating back the rain
under pregnant skies
Rotten old liquor head throbbing
without fail day follows the night
Bracketed by chain link fences
stand four sets of three scrubby trees
whipped by wind they thrash beside the terminal's rocky debris

Spurting vomit out the window
onto a vinyl awning
Despite the rain some chunks were glued there
I saw when I checked back in the morning
For one brief staggering moment
I held her and smelled her
Before I was felled and slumped
like a puppet with its synapses cut

God bless the friends of drunks
who pick them up and carry them home
Lay them to bed eyes rolled up in the head
stinking of liquor and smoke
It's difficult to ascertain
through dark curtains of rain
the arrival of a new day
I'd best be on my way

Good-bye good-bye
I gotta catch the three o'clock ferry
So long I gotta go
before the sad horn blows

A ridge of clouds like smoke
clings to the foaming sea
So poisonously black you'd imagine
they drifted from a burning factory

Good-bye good-bye
I gotta catch the three o'clock ferry
So long I gotta go
I can hear the sad horn blow

Blow
blow
