"Cleaning Crew" lyrics
"Cleaning Crew"
You were passed out on the sofa
Cigarette burns and coffee stains
Loose change in your pocket
Naltrexone in your veins
They got a scanner at the airport now
And a dropout in a Kevlar vest
I can hear the timer
Ticking in my chest
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew, comes through?
When you get out on your own again
If you ever do shake free
If you find yourself in Portland
Ask about me
Dig up the first revision
The one who's got less to lose
Look on every lamppost
From here to Baton Rouge
Ask yourself one question
Then ask yourself again
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do
When the cleaning crew, comes through?
It's better if you have a plan
It's better if you have a plan
I saw the future in an oil slick
It told me what I needed to know
Leave a little stain behind you
Everywhere you go

In a nit and out a louse
And lice are lousy all the time
They suck your blood drink your wine
Say shut up...

She and her sister laugh
I was asleep with my mouth open the whole drive down
On a sheet on the beach
Small lunatic birds
We watch them as they rush and...
Nana Grizol - "Motion In The Ocean" It seems that we are clams inside our shells
Side by side on rocks we feel the tide as the sea contracts and swells
Pearls grow from the pain inside we often know so well
So languageless, emotionless...
