about

a song about another country

lyrics

Down the ramp, old men play a sound of violent washing up
ducking close, holding his colander by the money bag
Countryside fades into a freeway techno-pocalypse
And gasoline and motorbikes poke from every crack
till rival clans meet in an "X" to drive right through each other
The telephone screen, in perfect lines, marks a road
-never built, It's now the dump
So sink into it to the hood

Now, in the dark, black bikes with no lights drive on both sides
on mountain roads near the beach,
blinded by the dark of brights
And in the dark, led up the marble stairs of a castle four stories tall
where a spiral bulb casts dimness from high in the slanted ceiling
Then, in the light of day, on the balcony- bleachers to the world-
A rainbow hangs all day
So sink into it and the trees, where they grow thick
Only in shades of green
And they hold still their whole life until they tip into the sea
But only if they should be chosen to be so unlucky
to root so close to the edge
