Maspeth Haze
Maspeth Haze (demo 10/02) MP3 (4:09)
Oh my god I wish I could have seen that boy’s green face hanging
out the window and speeding down the expressway
I didn’t think at the time I was all that drunk
But when he vomited in the car I sure sobered up
We took his ass all the way back home
And made him wash off the window with his mother’s garden hose and
a big red moon set that night at half-past five
It slid right behind the Statue of Liberty; I saw it from the driver’s
side
You feel exuberant
We play along
You say you’re losing it
But that’s just bizarre
You are a saint for driving my ass home so late
On the way I watched dawn break
It broke over New England first and then it settled into the Maspeth haze
I watched dawn break – it broke all over the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway
Do you remember those tanks with the red and white checks that you used
to see so much?
Well until recently they were the biggest things that I had ever seen get
blown up
We either exuberant
Or just plain wrong
Automatically stupid
Or intentionally flawed
But you know as soon as I get home I’m waking up
