This is about a dream I had where my friend Ash and his brother were doing a tribute to Elvis in an infoshop.
lyrics
Try as I can I may not save the planet or even my local community
Here we go- boats full of holes swiss cheese on spaghetti
Wrapped round a fork twisting silver infinity
Start a fire! Start a fire!
Start a fire with the closest match
Hammerhead honing in on the catch
Hands are tied, so we gotta move fast
Fall on the city like thick white ash
Start a fire with the closest match
Ash and his brother and Elvis Ash
Drink coffee until I burst, I can’t believe my hands, they feel the worst
I can’t trust the walls or my eyeballs, they zigzag dot dot cha cha cha cha
I’m walking cross the pier with the fiery legs, my friends are all in shackles or in aches and pains
So close to the edge I can feel the threshing and the stretching and the teeth and the pieces of my neighbors and nieces -
I am seasoned to believe in a reach without reason
Try as I can I cannot save the planet or even my local community
Here we go - boats full of holes swiss cheese on spaghetti
Wrapped round a fork twisting silver infinity
A big fuschia flower floats down over the city
Isn’t it isn’t it isn’t it... pretty
