colin meloy - slint, spiderland lyrics

i was watching a movie
about slint, spiderland
while the parasite outside
belied the calls from high demand
in this suburban bas+m+nt
in war+torn illinois
the demimonde were crashing out
all barbarous and bored
come around
to the clampdown
come around
to the clampdown, now
and all at once i ambled
day+lost in wandering cloud
when the avalanche descended
on an unsuspecting crowd
i said jettison the life boats
and maybe we’ll survive
but the evidence suggested
there’d be no one left alive
come around
to the clamp down
come around
to the clamp down, now
there’s a hole in your wall
there’s a hungry pall
fledgling, dark+winged juncos
baby drag me in line
tell me things are fine
and roll me over
baby, roll me over awhile
another morning rises
another batten down
as the government
equivocates
to flounder or to drown
so i headed to the market
took my life in my own hands
like those four boys on the quarry
on the sleeve of spiderland
come around
to the clamp down
come around
to the clamp down now
