lyrics

I live in a sprawling, silica furnace
With looming specters of bulbous smoke
Atop herds of blazing steeds
Exploding plasma globes
And the sun screams vermillion.
Dilapidated husks of Ponderosa pine
Wearing gowns of charred underbrush
Prickle under a malignant sky
Too old to nurse them back to life.
If my family on the coast would be so kind
As to mail me a river
The black would turn to green and then
When I shuffle off this mortal coil
I would crash down the mountain as a monsoon

(Deanna: ...I was standing on that bench looking over the fence and the first car that drove by there was a hella man driving it and he threw a glass--one of those tiny glass bottles of like vodka out the window, and that shattered and I was like, “Okay,” and then I heard, like, a gunshot and this car like peeled out of that driveway and ran over that sidewalk and went that way. I don’t know what just happened! That’s fucking--
Adam: What...
Deanna: It’s been such a weird day!
Patrick: Hmm
Deanna: I don’t know what’s--
Adam: Do you know if there’s any planets in retrograde right now?
Patrick: [Laughs]

Deanna: Oh my god my ?? teacher would know)
