Negativland - A Big 10-8 Place (part Two) lyrics

(15:49)<br />

<br />

Okay. We're 10-8. And the number is 180 and the letter is G. There is no<br />

Other possibility. And all you slimy fruitcakes in San Francisco are going<br />

To learn how to get to 180 and the letter G. I repeat, there is no other<br />

Possibility. There is no other possib--<br />

The number is 180 and the letter is G. The first thing you have to do to<br />

Get over to 180 and the letter G is to get into your vehicle and headEast.<br />

I repeat, you have to head East over the bridge. But before you get onto<br />

The bridge, around one big turn, you'll come up to the place where the sex<br />

Chemicals burned up. I repeat, where the sex chemicals burned up. And of<br />

Course you all must have heard about that on news center four...On your way<br />

To 180 and the letter G.<br />

And now we're on the bridge. That's nothing very much, but when you get on<br />

The other side of the bridge on your way to 180 and the letter G, you'll<br />

Notice two things. First of all it's very important that you turn on your<br />

AM radio. Set it to 1010 on your dial, and let the radio frequency energy<br />

From K-101 overload your little tuner until it distorts very highly. And<br />

Right at the point of that extreme distortion, there's the big chairs. I'm<br />

Not exactly sure, but I think that's where all the sewer water from Oakland<br />

Goes.<br />

And then, by then, you'll be out of all that distortion, and you'll be<br />

Looking East, toward the hills, and if it's at night, you'll see the little<br />

Red lights flashing on my favorite ham radio repeater station -- that's WR6<br />

Automatic Bowel Movement.<br />

And any of you who are into jamming, keep talking, keep jamming, because<br />

I'll be listening on my scanner radio, and just maybe...you'll be on the<br />

Next album.<br />

You come up to the tunnel. And now we're coming up to the tunnel. Up to<br />

The tunnel. And then as you get into the tunnel, you'll start to sense<br />

Something. And then about halfway through the tunnel, something will<br />

Suddenly hit you. You won't sense it a lot until you get almost through to<br />

The other side. You'll realize right then and there that you're entering<br />

Contra-Costa County. It's hard to explain [hard to explain, hard to<br />

Explain], but you feel a certain way when you get into Contra-Costa County<br />

On your way to 180 and the letter G. There is absolutely no other<br />

Possibility.<br />

And then you're gonna whisk out, out of the tunnel on the East side, in<br />

Contra-Costa County, where it's about 40 degrees warmer and the humidity is<br />

About 15 percent, and you'll just stay on that freeway all the way until<br />

You get to Martinas. When you're up to Martinas, you'll see a sign, a sign<br />

That says `G.' And you're just gonna go right on up there in your little<br />

Vehicle and you're gonna turn left onto G.<br />

On the left hand side of the street is the A&W root beer place, and on the<br />

Right side is another little place where you're gonna go later on in the<br />

Story: Safe Muffins.<br />

Now that you're on G, you're just gonna keep right on going up G, heading<br />

West on G, all the way to the top of the hill, and that's where 180 is.<br />

Right up there at the top. And just before you get to the top of the hill,<br />

You'll notice the green slime oozing out from under the house at 180 and<br />

The letter G.<br />

And of course, it had to be true, you just gotta go right back down to Safe<br />

Muffins and shoplift. I repeat, you're gonna have to shoplift the HR Steam<br />

Cleaning System from Safe Muffins. The only way you're gonna be able to do<br />

It successfully is to become invisible. And then when you're totally<br />

Invisible, you'll just creep right on into Safe Muffins, and thereyou'll<br />

See it: The HR Steam Cleaning System. And then you'll realize that<br />

You're gonna have to get it up the street to 180 very quickly, so you whisk<br />

Your Steam Cleaning System right back up G all the way to 180. You go<br />

Right up to the front door and you push the button.<br />

The door opens automatically, and the first thing you see is the orange<br />

Carpet inside 180...and you'll see the dog juice, the horrible dog juice<br />

All over the orange carpet at 180 and the letter G. You're just gonna<br />

March right on into G, there, with your HR Steam Cleaning System, go all<br />

The way back into the kitchen, where the Mr. Coffee Coffee-amker has your<br />

Hot water. Your hot water, ready to pour into your HR Steam Cleaning<br />

System. So you go in there and get your HR Steam Cleaner all fired up, and<br />

You bring it on out into the living room and you take care of all the dog<br />

Juice on the orange carpet at 18 and the letter G.<br />

"I think I'd like to have a cigarette now. Where are my<br />

Cigarettes, David?"<br />

``They're on top of the refrigerator.''<br />

"David, I'd like to know what <br />

You did with my cigarettes."<br />

``They're under the house.''<br />

"My cigarettes are missing, David. I'd like to smoke. What did<br />

You do with them?"<br />

``They're in the toad cage.''<br />

"David, I'd like to have a cigarette right now bu tI can't find the<br />

Package. I put them on the table and they're not there. Did you take<br />

Them?"<br />

``I think we may have left them up at Grandma's house.''<br />

"My mother doesn't smoke, David. What did you do with my<br />

Cigarettes?"<br />

``I told you, they're on top of the refrigerator.''<br />

"I loo<br />

Ked on top of the refrigerator. They aren't there. will you<br />

Please tell me what you did with my cigarettes?"<br />

``Maybe you left them in the car.''<br />

"I haven't been in the car all day. You must have put them<br />

Somewhere and I can't find them. You better tell me now or I'm going to<br />

Really get mad."<br />

``Oh yeah, I think I know where they are. They're in back of the<br />

TV set, where all the parakeet feathers are.''<br />

As you're cleaning the orange carpet, there'll be a voice that says:<br />

"FETCH MY CIGARETTES."<br />

Another voice will say:<br />

``THEY'RE ON TOP OF THE REFRIGERATOR.''<br />

And then of course you've forgotten completely about the green slime. And<br />

You'll realize that the only way to get rid of the green slime is to go<br />

Back down, down the stairs, down to the basement of 180 and the letter G,<br />

Where you'll find a bottle of Formula 409. You'll get that 409 up there<br />

Real quick, and go outside to the mailbox of 180 where the green slime and<br />

All the ants are oozing out onto the sidewalk, and you'll spray it with all<br />

Your might as hard as you can on that goddamn green slime. And then you'll<br />

Have gotten all that horrible stuff.<br />

{There are gonna be?} toads under the house, and they'll be saying,<br />

"Herbiss, herbiss, under the house, spray me with the 409, herbiss." That's<br />

What the toads are gonna say to you. They won't croak, they'll actually<br />

Say that. When you're at G...and 180.<br />

By then you'll realize that you're gonna have to take your HR Steam Cleaning<br />

System back down to Safe Muffins. And before you can do it, you'll of<br />

Course have to become invisible once again. You'll take your HR steam<br />

Cleaning system, which you shoplifted from Safe Muffins, you'll put it back<br />

In for somebody else to use, at some other number, some other letter,<br />

Somewhere in another dimension.<br />

And it'll be time for you to head back to San Francisco, 'cause if you<br />

Don't, you'll never leave Contra-Costa county. You'll get back in your<br />

Vehicle, and you'll go in reverse, in reverse gear, using your rear-view<br />

Mirror, all the way back down the freeway, past Pleasant Hill, Lafayette,<br />

And Orinda. You'll go back through the tunnel, and you're gonna get back<br />

On the other side of the hills, there, through the tunnel, right past the<br />

Ham radio repeater, and you'll whisk down that hill at 90 miles an hour.<br />

You'll get into the appropriate lanes, on your way from 180 and the letter<br />

G, back into San Francisco. Back past K101 and the big chairs, which<br />

Remind you of the sewer gas back on G, where you could become invisible.<br />

Not really sure if Oakland sewer gas can do it as well as Martinas sewer<br />

Gas. And you're on the bridge now, heading West, into the fog, the high<br />

Fog, I repeat: fog never touches the ground in California, it's always so<br />

Damn high. And you get across, and you look back to where the sex<br />

Chemicals were made, and finally you get back into your sewer pipe, and<br />

Disappear down into the sewers of San Francisco, and you know that you'll<br />

Never ever want to come out to 180 and the letter G, ever again. And in<br />

That sorry situation, I think it's just about time we went 10-7. I'm<br />

Getting that feeling now. Deep within the sewer pipes by now. You'll<br />

Never find your way out. You'll never want to find your way out. We're<br />

10-7. Out.
