about

Clean

lyrics

It's clean-up time
Quiet the voices
In this worried mind

Got my scrimshaw etchings,
collection of mothbones
Way up here in the Tobacco Root Mountains
past analog roam

There's a painted eggplant, (seed-pod rattle),
a spring drum
doesn't make any sense anymore
but everybody wants some
There's a rose growing up
through the cracks
bus stop Bag lady left to die
Those big stars with their bad hair days
Marble walled bank where no one ever cries

~chorus~
The earth controls me
Sky contains
We're all going with that flow
But Josephine says
We might be going
down the drain

-instrumental break-

~chorus~
The earth controls me
Sky contains
We're all going with that flow
But Josephine says
We might be going
down the drain

Start to feel real good
Then I start to feel so bad
Can't shake this hollow feeling
that I have
It must be clean-up time

Got my scrimshaw etchings,
collection of mothbones
Hiding out in the Tobacco Root Mountains
past analog roam
