Lyrics:
Elizabeth said last night the lake roared like the ocean I was landlocked under the orange-white solstice moon Imagine: imagining a place meant to conjure up another Three degrees of hometown disconnect in my unborn daughter's room Take the 18 Bus past the place my grandfather grew up Before he got out and met a pretty Swede at the Bible college choir Left his sister wearing saddle shoes in the care of the county With her forehead covered in electrode glue, as to not disturb the wires Mistakes were made. Grind it out: I can see the edges The parts where the ends start hemorrhaging time and leaking love Playing wounded so well, we fell like warm breath cooled A class ring on a chain, the plastic jewel fell out Got your ghost ghouling all over Milwaukee Haunting the homes and the factories of captains of dead industries I've been no place with the capacity to hoard shame like us In the warehouses possessed and left unsold by the city I was 20 in September in the Windex-dirty book store And the cathode-green skinscreens were interrupted by the news And those fuckers stole my story--my American narrative: My connection, and my star-spangled nudes Jimmer drew a minty Kool and a nine volt battery And a pubic pile of grey steel wool From his jacket on the balcony He said we fucked up but won't admit it Due to endless imperial vanity
