lyrics

I am sitting in a kitchen
Endless chatter, flowers dripping
and I'm laughing
till my jawbone aches

I am sitting in a Mustang
in the parking lot of a Foodtown
Tired of driving, I cannot feel the car.
Ramones playing, the sound is deafening
as little men look up from manholes
their red eyes gleam across the tar

So I breathe in
for a time
Go on, breathe in
for all time

In a story about Winter
and the sun refused to shine
Forward, laughing,
emptying your mind
Somewhere out there, North of Brunswick
on the side with out much light
There's a wall of sound that fills the night
In the country, a deafening Opus
The fuzz box sounds like twelve violas
wailing in the cornfield after dark

So I breathe in
for a time
Go on, breathe in
for all time
