Greasy Jungle

The Tragically Hip · Day For Night [1995]

Greasy jungle metropolis noir

Easy tangles the easiest so far

Ah

I drove down your road

to Hazeldean where I tasted

your funeral home?s sandwiches and coffee

I saw your hands melt into one another

I saw you grieve and grow

care a lot about one another

I stood at your sink

and I felt your warm water

I washed your dishes

and I looked out your kitchen window where I

saw a soulful gymnast

melt in the air and shudder

just above the snow

making moves that just weren't there

Ah

Velvet callow with wet hands

I turned out the lights and

breathing shallow hesitated

then went upstairs where

I picked up your housecoat

dried my hands and

touched your hair

and just then you awoke

you could never really barely care

Ah
