I know it verges on disco, but anyone who has ever driven to this song, esp if you were compromised, it is a great song.

Not condoning anything. Mistakes have been made.

Big Hands...

srsly

The shape of the floorplan
One turn right or wrong
Depending where you're coming from
Besides hopping off at the junction
For a fix at the nurses station
We're still riding the L

Some now take different needles
Most trade strong drink for coffee
All jonesin' for cigarettes
Stuck en route on the L

Sunlight ripples on ceilings
Peaceful train underwater
Show any longshoremen
He'd be sure that we'd drown
Yet somehow always handed same Big Book
That belonged to a Clifton
Tremored scribbles on the L

Crusty's back to construction
Big Mike's returning to the oil rig
Replaced by touchy old hippie
And Boston smoking crack in a tree
Hope for closure to misunderstandings
With the De Lacey's and my Lord
And Burroughs Adding Machine
Left when El presidente Corey leaves
May he not nod off on the L

Scotty answers my call from the landline
Closest these kids'll get to a payphone
Last we talked at length
Before a blind date
But what fog made me forget
He returned to Pa
Same that made her disappear
Though we no longer smoke L's

Have I come to regard the majority
The same as the elites I despise
Useful idiots to be disposed of
Maybe I'm booked for the same cattle car
Maybe we all ride on the L

Movie night
Tim (Ginsberg) pats me on the back
Asking if I enjoyed Oppenheimer
He knows I know
Gary Oldman was good as Truman
Just unsympathetic to the real narrative
Remeran kicking in
I know he knows
Does a cigarette perk me up, he asks
It's an illusion
Calms you down though it's a stimulant
Keeps you warm though it slows circulation

Wonder who's wearing goggles
To see things as they are
Or who's brains been melted
Hard to gauge in our state

Chemical floods - pathways restored
Sucked into jealousy circles
Joy following big John
Latoya insults her after she sat with me
Don standoffish he can't take the Queen
Peer group resents his presidency

Facility near capacity
Some of us don't want to return
To crumbling castles
We're not stuck here like Los Alamos

With cell doors unlocked
Try to do the right thing
But no one's quite the Apostle Paul
Tensions rising
Who knows what diabolical plots
Are being cooked up (not to become meth)
In any of our callous mending minds
A village of destroyers of worlds
