Red Tide
Neko Case - 《Middle Cyclone》
LRC by lzh from jiangxi pingxiang
There's a smell here that stands my hairs on end
Dog hair in the heater gas pumps and cedar
And jackknifes on the nine
and seabirds choked on fishing line
Clouds are a hush but the chainsaws mush
on to Custer and Columbia
Salty tentacles drink in the sun but the red tide is over
The mollusks they have won
There's a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit
When the match made them sweet
When the engine turned over and beat up our street
Oh that was the day to remember
I remember because of the fires that leapt
From the caves of the things that have not happened yet
When I think of it now they smell to me quite sinister
I want to go back and die at the drive in
Die before strangers can say
