lyrics

my trip is all queered now
my scene is so weird
I dunno how its happened
how I came to be so confused
my reputation precedes me
my name has a life of its own
I can't do a thing about it
I need some scratch
my road is a mad split level junction
my sound is all distorted
ponderous and full of portent
the more I struggle the tighter the rope gets
the deeper I sink into the black sand
I'm dreamin'
I've been a fool

my music is heavy
it's all bent out of shape and lies in the middle of the floor I'm out of the picture
there's nothin I can do to bring it to its senses
I open my mouth
my sound is dense
I'm movin so slow people come up and trip me over
cos they can
I need some scratch
the more I struggle the tighter the rope gets
the deeper I sink into the black sand
I'm dreamin'
I've been a fool
it wasn't always the case
I loved to bullshit and let the sounds fly
crazy and rootless like a cloud above my head
I'd get dizzy keepin track of myself
I used to be the one that cried wolf and ran

I need some scratch
I need some scratch
some old time weirdness
some money
I need some scratch
