lyrics

Even clothed animals need nocturnal fixes,
When the only wish is to be at odds with light

Doused in the ditch is any grand scheme thinking,
Rectangle turn-arounds are no accidents

Geneva Hall, it was as if it was looking for us
The clean floor called, seeking a supply of scuffs
Slurred even sober voices bounce off boots and starch
Would you like to dance; it’s only our part

Blind-man Andy installs shutters by day
But windows will have to wait
Because he’s busy with his glass

Electrician Tristan, I see him sparking up with Suzie
I think he’s got her in his coozie
I think she’s got him cherry-picked

Ink-spill tar avenues have taken me
Through the routes,
Eggshell letters on algae metal do
Lead me to
The neon-speckled wooden walls
Just east,
Of “Highway Narcolepsy”
And the handwriting reads:

Geneva Hall, it was as if it was looking for us
The clean floor called, seeking a supply of scuffs
Slurred even sober voices bounce off boots and starch
Would you like to dance; it’s only our part
Would you like to dance in the dance hall dark

Weinacht pays tribute to rural life in sparsely populated Texas towns he lived in as a child (those scenes and voices permanently inform his songwriting), while employing a playfulness only found in the city.
