Neko Case - Red Tide lyrics

rate me

<BR>

There's a smell here that stands my hairs on end <br>

Dog hair in the heater, gas pumps and cedar <br>

And jackknifes on the nine <br>

And seabirds choked on fishing line <br>

<br>

Clouds are a hush but the chainsaws mush on to Custer and Columbia <br>

Salty tentacles drink in the sun but the red tide is over <br>

The mollusks they have won <br>

<br>

There's a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit <br>

When the match made them sweet <br>

When the engine turned over and beat up our street <br>

Oh, that was the day <br>

To remember <br>

<br>

I remember because of the fires that leapt <br>

From the caves of the things that have not happened yet <br>

When I think of it now they smell to me quite sinister <br>

<br>

I want to go back and die at the drive in <br>

Die before strangers can say <br>

I hate the rain <br>

I hate the rain<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
