about

Written just in time for the recording of the record, this one still makes me think of the Meat Puppets. Which are you gonna ride?

lyrics

Before you were a child you were living in the dark
Terrifying beauty on display – you had no part
The war was being fought and the love was being made
You were just floating there in your mother's shade...

Chorus
You can hear the birds and they're singing like dessert
Your ear's against the door and you listen 'til it hurts.

Rolling down the road, several years and several jobs
Lovers were convenience stores you'd pull up and rob
Looking out the window every night the light was gone
Loading up the car you were always moving on

Chorus

Then you were attracted by surprise to you know who
Everything blew open like a freight train passing through
Breathing on a sunny afternoon was effortless
Until you suffocated and you lost your consciousness

Chorus

Now it's up to you to sing your own next verse
Are you gonna ride a pony or a hearse?
You can hear the birds and they're singing like dessert
Your ear's against the door and you listen 'til it hurts...

Chorus

Subtlety and cleverness don't always get you in
But as long as you are nice you might get to try again...
