Upon Viewing Oregon's Landscape With The Flood Of Detritus Lyrics - Local Business - Titus Andronicus

I saw somebody die out upon the road today 

I felt lives dissolve on sidestreets as that head hit the highway 

I see first responders rush in as a white plume dissipates 

Trying to pull their will to power from the flames 

Now there's miles of angry motorists stretched as far as eyes can see 

There are a billion breathing beings each with schedules to keep 

They get a long look at the tow truck as they sit and grit their teeth 

Hating that which comes between them and their coffee 

I'm on that ribbon highway and I've seen some sickening things 

One good kid smashed to splinters, another wicked one crowned king 

And upon the pavement, for each and every particle of glass 

There are a thousand dreams never to come to pass 

Because dreams can't be, nor people, indeed, built to last

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I've adored every inch of this country through the same dirty windshield 

Peeking through blotches of the blood of bugs towards the Elysian Fields 

Behold my brother's beautiful babies! It's obvious to see 

The world's been making plans to go on without me 

I gave my youth to yelling at rivers that refused to flood with angry tears 

Now abundant beers await to erase redundant years 

So there's nothing for me to do now but turn the radio up loud 

Put Eric's sunglasses back on and black it out 

Photos 

Now I'm writing manifestos on old B.O.A. receipts 

I know it only is alfresco when I take meals in the streets 

There was promise in these pages once, now they rot under the rain 

Of their wisdom, all that remains are stains 

Because, just like me, they were made to be thrown away
