lyrics

Drunken driving through hypnogogia. Water black as policy bursts through over you. Jump the divider, swim for sanctuary -- a beautiful girl is wasted now and turns blue over you. On a black dirt road the vanguard flipped. Gasping for air with pants unzipped. Rough kissed loose lips sink ships, yes they do. At a party with the Boston earls. The Great Society traffics in girls. The leaders of the free world's balls are blue.

A family album smeared in blood. The brahmins pop their cocks and pour their brew over you. Gail and Louise and the hired help bring sandwiches to the boys legislating their rule over you. From every schoo in Massachoo headless men row crew and football and shove cigars in sugar walls in varnished halls of truth. And from Palm Beach to Hyannisport, the murder goes on daily like the sport of kings -- the framing of the shrew.

Out pressing flesh with the poor. U Street condo riding a whore. And as the police lights scour the shore, I am the man from Nantucket. All the mean streets get renewed hope, and all the staffers' asses get groped. Grinning, winking back at the pope -- I am the man from Nantucket. Claw at the carseat in torrents of fear. Gasp as the bubbles of air disappear. We've got to have some music for the new frontier.
