lyrics

wasteland scene at the Seidenfadens
wet floor body limit smells like vomit we got
20 minutes till last call we got everybody waiting
for Rome to fall we got
2 drinks sticky shoes pit stains we got a thousand watts
thawing out our brains we got
maybe enough cash for the next few days
florescent lights dousin us in our own age

it’s a maze of politics and scuzzy dudes
gunpowder plotting how to light a fuse but then
deep in the corner makin her own fog there’s a
very glossy lady sweatin like it’s her job

glare bouncing off her face piercing and bright
now i’m walking like a dead man into the light
she looks good she looks damp like poseiden’s daughter
not a single speck of loreal powder on her

cheeks kinda red from the perspiration
she looks slick she looks active she looks vaccinated
skin shinin like gravy in a gravy boat
high gloss sheen like a piano you know

she’s like a hot dog 
in a suede vest
excuse me madame you are under arrest
for lookin salt cured fried up boiled and wet
glossy like a magazine 
hot off the press yes 
aaahh
i gotta confess
I was not aware that I was into this
but your humidity’s drawin me into your web
my hair’s curlin up and and my palms are sweatin
i’m a mess but she looks magical and unstressed
like a newly polished mermaid figurehead
i gotta give it to her high sheen is her coat
she’s glistening like newly fallen untouched snow


It might be treacherous or lecherous to labor the point
but she’s a wishing well and i’m wishing I had more coins
did a master coat her skin with 5 coats of shellac
did he finish it with polish & carnuba wax
cuz she’s maxium sheen
like men at work
putting the gleam
on louis 16th’s furniture
the unrest outside washing off her back like a duck
eatin all the cake she wants and then burning it up
it’s too much I’ve heard of dripping but she’s got drip
bad vibes tryin to grip her but they get no grip
the angry mob tries to stop her but she’s too slick
plagues trying to get her her veneer’s too thick
biologically outfitted with a moisture shield
equipped to deal with any future hand she deals
I’ve heard that catfish have a slick layer that helps wounds heal
but that comparison i guess is sorta sub ideal
but for real it’s last call better get her a drink
replenish those electrolytes she’s misting us in
I gotta give it to her high gloss is her coat
she’s shining in the darkness like a beacon of hope
