about

This track is dedicated to Geoff Berner's amazing book Festival Man

lyrics

You were alone
And you had no one to guide you
You ran out of intuition
So you got someone inside you

You stumbled home
With a pair of painted faces
And passed out on sequined laps
While they were powdering their noses

And when the lake is to damn shallow
Hold your breath and dive in
Don't let the water overthrow you
Get it under your skin

When the table disappears
Drink them under your breath
They will pave the road beneath you
They will wallow in your death

And you burn burn burn
Burning through the score
And you burn burn burn
As you're walking out the door

You've run out of situations
To put your back against the wall
And the only consolation
Is to watch yourself fall

They are walking complications
They are pocketing their gold
They will pave the road above you
They will laugh as you grow old

And when the lake is to damn shallow
Hold your breath and dive in
Don't let the water overthrow you
Get it under your skin

When the table disappears
Drink them under your breath
They will pave the road beneath you
They will wallow in your death

And you burn burn burn
Burning through the score
And you burn burn burn
As you're walking out the door
