Then he looks to her with bloodshot eyesSays, "This is the day of which I've fantasized." The streets have become too dark now to go to workI guess the only one left is the soda jerkThe blue sky bruises to green as we fade to duskBelow us churns the pool of her eternal lustThe killer wakes up scapegoated and hungoverCatches the midnight bus and rolls to workKnowing their end has been long prophesizedHe looks into the sulfrous hailstorm of her eyesSees the giant looking back deep in her brainLeaves her bleeding and confused in acid rainMotor oil stains her lipsHer candied eye lures him inOh Indie God, oh let me inThe sweet-tooth spider reels him inKills her by a river, dumps her in a lakeTried to bite his tongue but she was just too fakeThe bark of wild dogs or just mark of the beastIt puts his car in neutral and he heads back eastOh my God, it's come againSongtexteThat feeling's back in this damn townI can't sit up - I can't stand downCan't tell color from the soundOf Hipster Angel's metal stringsOh Indie God, oh let me inI can't take what the summer bringsTake the California kingNobody's worth their shit in this town by the lakeThey walk deserted streets just waiting to be savedBy the cardboard angels sitting in the treeThe jagged smiles of the preachers on TVThere lives a man named Lester in the sewer pipeHe roosts there because he's never been the working typeA mile north a girl named Jessie takes the stageShe sparkles in the spotlight while she wastes awayOld Randal shoots his fix while lying in the sandThinks the time has come to get back with the bandTry to reconcile again with his old manIf only for a second, make him understandThe mindset of the officer who goes berserkThe hollows in the eyes of the soda jerkThe allure of dark-lit topless bars to married menThe hate that courses through the mind of your best friendTime is running up as this night winds on downThe killer's boot slams on the gas and it leaves townThe girl he let live sits upright in the front seatFor the first time he and the cops will both be beatThe sky's too dark toGo to workOh, face the eyes ofThe soda jerkOh, let this go andReel your line back inOh, what's the use of fishingWhen you can swim...?
