Cymbals Eat Guitars - Plainclothes lyrics

There was a man who k**ed a state trooper And drove his pickup truck to Belmar And slept in a beach house A dream of the day When two protons collide Everything everything changes When I drive with floodplains on either side of me And in the back seat my friends point out egrets' nests High on the telephone poles Friends f** each other in the guest room I feel the ghost of all the parties still happening Right on this very spot that I am standing Kids are blissing in the spare room Light years away The drug store smilers tower ten feet tall Over a maze of abandoned cars Their canceled eyes show through the holes in their sphinx masks I scramble to the dunes to puke under the pale moon It is initiation season So watch out for the cars with no lights on If you flash them they will swing aroung And follow you home And in the lamp light living room A Portal gently pulls at all the sh** that you own What a relief it is to laugh like this years later Through tears at someone's kitchen table Feeling the full weight of all that dark energy Because there's matter and there's legion else Unobservable scaffolding for planets and stars Dry mushrooms taste a lot like communion wafers To see cathedral ships behind the Bucks County sky when I was thirteen My man's in a hallucination reverie He says that there was a man who went and murdered a plainclothes But he drove so far away from Belmar Because all of the people there hung glow in the dark masks On every single screen door A crown vic in the rear view, oh my god
