telethon - tumbleweeding lyrics

[verse 1]
so we failed to locate a single version
that seemed to settle the sight lines that broke immersion
couldn’t topple the jenga tower with a gun to my head
a stiff preacher delivered a video sermon of stiff sleepers
whose empires succumbed to vermin
while they bashed the alarm clock
and dreamed they were anyone else

[verse 2]
i gеt so lost outside myself
in the land of ovеrsized
pickup trucks and shuttle buses
extra fee for satellite
radio inside the rental
make a scene to draw the line
force the editor to jump cut
man, just tell me where to sign

[chorus]
god, i need a reaction
let me know i’m on your mind
suppose i need a distraction
but those are getting so hard to find
what if i lose my identity
desire to mumble incoherently?
believe you me
well, that would be an unspeakable tragedy
[verse 3]
so on the way in, a mysterious irish setter
leashed up to a bike rack asked me to pet her
highlight of the day was laying a palm on her head
can’t recall the more robust one—delta 8 or delta 9?
struggling to read the menu ’til i gained a second sight
“try our famous margaritas. they are brimmed with salt and lime
they are brewed in a huge cauldron where they freeze for several nights.”

[chorus]
god, i need a reaction
let me know i’m on your mind
suppose i need a distraction
but those are getting so hard to find
what if i lose my capacity for love
or trust, or breathing nicotine?
hissing machine
now, would that be some unspeakable tragedy?

[outro]
i cut off a motorcyclist near knoxville
while swerving away from a pile of roadk!ll
he banged on my window, world’s angriest guy
repeating the phrase: “you’re stupid, i die.”
i knew he was right, so i’m apologizing
when he kicked the steed up and became the horizon
so i’m tumbleweeding, adrift once again
think me and this stranger could probably be friends
the end
