Bob Mould - Slay/Sway lyrics

How long have you lived in a dead end town where there's nothing around you But an empty garage full of nothing to do / It was fun to have a few friends over And maybe they'll bring some friends / It'll be the time when your family leaves Maybe they'll leave for good It blurred the lines between a CD-ROM and reality But it was clear who was taking over the world / It wasn't going to be me And all the forbidden thoughts came rushing out as one long night The wind moaned through the broken window / I couldn't see where it was coming from And then I'm stuck in a room / The Sex Pistols began to play It was terribly lame in a predictable way Someone plugged up the tub and the black crud started to come alive Somebody shook my hand and they went at it again A monkey shot in the mouth, I changed the view on the lens / I watched them do it again, and it was two against one And one by one, my family came home I tried to stall them and keep them away from the place where all of this happened I needed time to clean it all up / And I ran for the armory I said he works for the man who tried to conquer the world / I felt bad that I said he used to be an acquaintance And everyone stood there and laughed at him / I turned and ran away The dog was dragging me up the stairs around the fallen doors and garbage And broke away off the leash / I couldn't keep up And then I got to the top, the dog was three steps away / The second step was missing And I said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop / But it was way too late
