Quinn Boys II

Did you ever go down to see the Quinn boys?

When I walked outta there I went awwwww!

Meet you in the Bowery

Goodbye Beacon Hill

Hello misfortune, I've got time to kill

Time to kill, I've got time to kill

Spend all of my days roaming all the ways

Deliver me and see the sun

See the moon in dark June

Kiss the sand and ocean salt

Take my brother by the hand

It's you, and I demand

The song serves as a testament to Jandek's ability to craft compelling auditory experiences through restraint and precision.
