lyrics
Mesa Town
I walked through the front door and saw a
Time machine
It’s best if you don’t ask too many questions
About these things..
To nineteen-ninety-whatever
There’s the church where I kissed the girl
Who told me to put my hand somewhere else
There’s the morgue where we laid the dead
Cancer, choking on a belt, I know
What methods I know
What methods I know
Here we go
Lost and Found
Treasure precious lessons now
Cake for cake and
Pound for pound
The fat kid rides on his own this round
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
My god, my friends
They were the best there is
So pale, always inside
Oh yes, and someone’s speeches
Oh yes, and Someone’s speeches…
Of how we’re all gonna die
We’re all gonna die
The Anti-Christ coming
The Apocalypse nigh
Heard gin blossomed on the radio
Jimmy went and ate up the world
Refreshing time on some TV show
Take me time machine somewhere else
Here we go
Lost and Found
Treasure precious lessons now
Cake for cake and
Pound for pound
The fat kid rides on his own this round
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
I walked through the front door and saw a
Time machine
It’s best if you don’t ask too many questions
About these things..
To nineteen-ninety-whatever
There’s the church where I kissed the girl
Who told me to put my hand somewhere else
There’s the morgue where we laid the dead
Cancer, choking on a belt, I know
What methods I know
What methods I know
Here we go
Lost and Found
Treasure precious lessons now
Cake for cake and
Pound for pound
The fat kid rides on his own this round
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
My god, my friends
They were the best there is
So pale, always inside
Oh yes, and someone’s speeches
Oh yes, and Someone’s speeches…
Of how we’re all gonna die
We’re all gonna die
The Anti-Christ coming
The Apocalypse nigh
Heard gin blossomed on the radio
Jimmy went and ate up the world
Refreshing time on some TV show
Take me time machine somewhere else
Here we go
Lost and Found
Treasure precious lessons now
Cake for cake and
Pound for pound
The fat kid rides on his own this round
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
Water it drown
Dry up in Mesa Town
