A great razing. Like a big fuckin' forest fire, everything's a carpet now. And this is the celebration music. Bang crash bang crash bang crash bang. And then the birds come, the banjo stands up, ugly. This song is intended, at 3.25 on both clocks, to bash your ears so hard together that you sneeze, and you prove that you have no brain.
I see midnight grass, garbage, a parking lot lit like a war helmet in a museum. we were never there, but we're there now. Come on, babe. I'll deny your existence if anyone asks me. Our love was recorded on analog tape. It was a live show. Best show I've ever been to.
