Vampire bats mall rats greasy stares and funny hats
Listen to their radios and make a path to where it’s at
And all along the boulevards they scrub the yellow grasses with their eyes
Welcome mats, kitty cats drinking milk and licking laps
Hiding slimy noses under rims of bowls they roll and bat
And wonder where their mommies are so late into the chilly autumn night
Driveway sets, immobile vets rollin’ dice and red corvettes
Bleary-eyed replacements for the promises and hopeful gets
The droplets in the river of a thousand vanished hopefuls trickled by
Look who’s coming through the kitchen door
He’s got some mud on his shoes…it isn’t reasonable
Every time that boy comes breezing through another chance is met
Another clouded, dimly lighted fuse
Take your choice of myths to vet: Jesus Christ or Boba Fett
They’ll lock you in the storage hold and freeze your ass and never let you
Kiss your rightful princess with the frozen lips you traded for a smile
Even so it’s pitter-pat listen low and breathing fast
Slipping past security and waiting for another chance to snatch a grain of freedom from
the beach of them they’re keeping from your sight
Look who’s coming through the kitchen door
He’s got some mud on his shoes despite the screaming and the last bruise
Every time we turn he’s playing fool
I will set things right it’s only reasonable to assume…
There’s so much one needs to learn about love
I will set him right
I will keep him straight and narrow

Sure, maybe my ears are ruined by the loudness wars, but it's hard to believe that this mix is the sound anyone was looking for. Every element sounds buried and distant to me, which is a shame since the songs are top-notch. Let's have a 13-month anniversary remix, eh? raeforr

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
