Something Driven Through Me

Bear Quartet · His Spine [1997]

Meetings near

Meet me near old asphalt

That stretches out

To the end of the pier

Where the sun's still barking day

And only the waters can hear

What the evening has to say

Just a slow buzz growing around us



We've always been

Caught in the strangest dream

Something's going to happen

Something's going to happen



While everybody's out

Looking for some real live action in the night

We revisit the night-open gas station

And we sit in the slope

Beneath the old palace of how to cope

Until the shifting comes on

And it becomes the palace of wrong again
