lyrics

I took a ride, it wasn't in my car
I didn't get that far
(before I realised I was dreaming, and I)
noticed little things about the country siding
with the victor's side
if we could run or hide, we'd probably do both
the liquor store is going broke, but there's a theme park on the corner
and you could win a trip to California if you're the fifteenth caller

opened my eyes, I saw the hotel ceiling
and I got the feeling I was hypnotised
the balding man smoked cigarettes; he stood with us, and told vignettes
of failing to get good help in the South
I watched him form the words inside his mouth
and let them fall out of his lips onto the pavement where they multiplied
and if he can't muster up the strength to be optimistic, how can I?

it's quite a thing to see
you want some ignorance? just look at me
I'm stupid and I'm here on holiday
I'm not here to stay and I'm not here to say
that I know any better but at least I've got the guts to know I'm through -
at least I'm not as stubborn as you.
It's lucky you're not ugly on the outside, too.
