Stench Of The Unburied Lyrics - Mountain Goats

Incoherent but functional 

Speeding like a dead comet 

Purple crushed velvet waistcoat 

Flecked with Maalox and bits of dried vomit 

Say what you will for the effort 

You can't fault the technique 

Still conscious at sunrise 

For the third time this week 

But when the blue lights flash 

I know we're going to crash 

And outside it's 92 degrees 

And KROQ is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees 

Blaupunkt in the dashboard 

Cracks in the cylinder block 

Heading up the Golden State Freeway 

Toward Eagle Rock 

Ice chest full of Corona 

And Pineapple Crush 

It'll take 20 years 

For the toxins to flush 

And when the sirens wail 

I know we're going to jail 

And outside it's 92 degrees 

And KROQ is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees 

Follow the flame to freedom 

The flickering lights of armageddon 

Find the foot of the ladder way down in the pit 

Keep climbing forever 

Try to keep the torch lit 

And outside it's 92 degrees 

And KROQ, the Rock of the 80s, is playing Siouxsie and the Banshees
