[00:27.45]Let's start with Tristan Bongo alone in the race [00:30.13]Conscription calling his name [00:33.32]One more night of freedom [00:35.54]An heiress high up atop the stands [00:44.88]And the lines are open [00:46.13]That's Lucky Star Eye Sore Doctor Murphy Sun Tzu The Clap [00:49.10]Mr. Winner Spot Wallace Mrs. Gonorrhoea Perfect P Deadman Walking [00:52.72]And The Company Favourite [00:55.85]A son hands dad's hard earned cash to the clerk [00:58.34]And she laughs at the gall of the small guido lips [01:00.91]"Put it all on Spot the kid's already won" [01:03.43]John Tyler smeared with last nights beer [01:04.99]Reflect vomiting Chris who dreams his dream is near [01:07.24]In the form of Mrs. Gonorrhea [01:21.47]Reporter reporting the state of affairs [01:27.49]Inwardly asks of his prime time hair [01:32.85]Why it can't quite rival the manes on these mares [01:40.98]The smoothness can't compare [01:45.97]The gleaming appliances attract attention [01:49.14]The raffle prizes too many to mention [01:51.90]Displayed all over the stadium entrance [01:59.09]Hypodermic needles [02:02.16]Hidden under a coat sleeves [02:04.15]Of sweaty wise-guy money earning men [02:06.68]In search of the horse to apprehend [02:10.59]The race is about to begin [02:12.57]The race is about to begin [02:19.89]Blondie locked in 4 Eyes' arms [02:21.91]Squirming like a dying fish [02:24.46]That's the last I can recall [02:31.52]The race was ran [02:32.31]Someone lost someone won [02:33.23]I came and I stayed and the same ever since [02:34.86]Outside [02:35.44]The freaks of the wilderness open in spring [02:37.08]The time before time was the time to sing [02:38.90]Unidentified song surging through the brush [02:40.61]Transcription futile let alone the rush [02:42.54]You miss when hunched and scribbling notes [02:43.96]Here no journalism is ever in vogue [02:45.62]Despite the attempts of doctors and saints [02:47.23]None have recorded its heavenly grace [02:48.75]But I stayed and stayed and stayed [02:49.89]That race was ran thirty years back [02:51.30]And each day since the same [02:52.34]Peel back the witness of a million catastrophes [02:54.15]To see the spotty remnants each has left [02:55.64]I forget in which cups I've pissed [02:57.07]From which I can still drink [02:58.26]Tonight it's so cold my feet are shrinking [02:59.81]Groping around for the sides of my boot [03:01.23]It's no night for the blind [03:02.12]With all these sirens I envy the deaf mutes [03:03.69]Some killer on the loose again [03:04.84]Some idiot at large [03:05.77]Some Chinese moose again [03:06.53]An excuse for the sarge [03:07.46]No sirens all silent [03:08.47]The log cabin's silent [03:09.39]No killer either [03:10.33]No creeks in the floor [03:11.17]Log cabin what cabin [03:12.30]A shack's all I have [03:13.30]Yes my cubbyhole's stuffed with skeletons [03:14.62]But my neighbours are stuffed with anthrax [03:16.02]Where does that leave us [03:16.80]I came thirty years back [03:17.75]From Salafessien via South Schlagenheim [03:19.47]To Sunterum and Sunterime [03:20.40]The late Sun Sugar's home town [03:21.73]Buried not far from here [03:22.70]My only friend [03:23.44]Neighbor what neighbor [03:24.48]My shack is all alone [03:25.32]This pen changing lines [03:26.08]One line at a time [03:26.81]Blindness [03:27.09]What blindness [03:27.58]Sweet blindness [03:28.07]A little laughter a little silence [03:29.06]A little magic a little kindness [03:30.15]A little all over me yes me [03:31.28]The first the last the everything [03:32.67]No trace of anything [03:33.60]No sin no life no fun no time no any-****ing-thing [03:35.81]No one no yes no house no shack [03:37.12]No A no B no C no et cetera [03:38.59]No one no two no et cetera [03:39.96]No school no life no work no time no book [03:41.45]No art no point no truth no use no friend [03:43.26]No know no knot no hole no birth [03:44.69]No end no real no fake [03:46.25]No king of this useless nameless non-land [03:47.64]No end to this nothing nonsense non-song [03:49.27]No day set for my saviors arrival to carry me far [03:51.38]Across green waters above the sky or below the depths [03:53.26]Among the white cloud or red steppe [03:54.45]Or to fly forever in-between ends [03:56.00]Or in-between in-betweens [03:56.95]Or in-between no-between [03:57.99]Or no nothing no saviour no journey no end [03:59.74]A thousand years of no nothing hiding from nothing [04:01.63]No reason to hide sins or reason not to sin [04:03.42]No reason to pretend [04:04.16]No reason to pretend there is not no reason [04:05.99]Oh yes [04:06.59]Blondie ran on the track [04:07.39]4 Eyes got stuck in the rail [04:08.45]The reporter was caught getting sweaty in the stable [04:10.23]Blondie gone 4 Eyes gone Guidos gone Clerk gone Chris gone [04:12.28]Tristan Bongo the man who never left [04:13.86]Tristan Bongo never left [04:14.72]Still here [04:15.41]I stayed [04:25.77]The clown can be a martyr [04:34.43]The w***e can be an angel [04:44.99]The hack becomes a master [04:54.33]The crass becomes divine [05:06.51]The infinite infinitesimal [05:17.63]And all sins irrepressible [05:26.08]No use digging holes to hide [05:34.16]The rupture comes and leaves no stone unturned [05:55.18]So don't wish for anything [06:10.01]The clown can be a martyr [06:19.18]The w***e can be an angel [06:27.94]The hack becomes a master [06:36.74]The crass becomes divine [06:49.02]The infinite infinitesimal [06:55.59]All sins irrepressible
