lyrics

I find myself on the side of a country road
hoping to hitchhike onward
a mobile home slows down and skids right past
and crashes into a ditch
I rush towards the door
and out steps a glutton covered in scum

another one joins him
“broke down again” she shouts
her rotten teeth gleam in the sun
and they argue for what seems like hours

I tell them I can fix the mobile home and send them on their way
in return for a ride to wherever they are going
they invite me in
my shoes stick to the floor
an exploded garbage bag waits eagerly by the door
I follow the pair into the kitchen carefully dodging towers of old magazines

everything is rotten
and the curtains breath dust
dishes from last year’s supper cover the counter tops

in a trailer bound for no where
its tires have all but rotted away
I’m not quite sure how it got this bad
but I am certain how it will end

fiberglass pours from the seams
and the ceiling leaks brown water
I am sure generations of raccoons have lived and died within these walls
and no one seems to notice

I spend days on bedding made of laundry
and each day I offer to fix their engine
and each day I receive another excuse
and each day it becomes clear to me

miserable but not alone
meal time rolls around once more
and they attack the feast within
filling their empty bellies with rust
and they retire to the grime

same as always
to dine then rest
same as before
it can’t move
it won’t move
the sun securely fastened to the sky

I work up the courage to ask if they grow tired of life on this road
“we won’t have it any other way,” they shout
I continue my wandering no better or worse for my trouble
