Dog Days

Arms akimbo, had me up out myself
Meetin', still speakin' in code
Trust about as far as I can throw
This ain't the world you used to know
You ain't know this 'cause it changed slow
Gasoline rainbow, Serengeti cold hell froze, numb
Watchin' the price on these elbows go through the floor
The metropolis hum and glow, the tent city grow
The punchline the whole joke
The whole thing a hoax
The empty boats bounce 'round the holdin' cell
Grandma broach on that pawn shop scale
Better than me, tried and failed (yup)
The sun runnin' hot, the tar boil
The children's eyes shine like bits of foil
Pig par-broiled, thick lard coat the glass
Hard r on my n-word, if you have to ask

The blackest laugh is the cracker's crash, that schadenfreude
Whitey always get his path, though
That's unavoidable, like mercury in the fish
I wave goodbye to Portugal
The wave high, I'm a long fuckin' way from those portables

The blackest laugh is the cracker's crash, that schadenfreude
Whitey always get his path, though
That's unavoidable, like mercury in the fish
Wave goodbye to Portugal
The wave high, I'm a long way from seventh-grade portables

400 Degrees and I can't see Louisiana
Water skiin', Sweet Home Alabama
Play you some Neil Young on the piano
It's a lotta room in my day planner
Watch a live show through the camera
Sent a dick pick and thanked her for the candor

(Is my phone ringing?)
