Count Mickey gets hungry Big Wrangler's got to take a break sometime Got to feed the machine Steamer heaven is empty A couple of kids in behind the counter And the lovely Janine Soon as he walks in the door she's smiling Covers his eyes with his hands cause... Everyone knows that it's scary out there When you jump to the Wetside Where it's cold or it's dark or it's screaming with life And it's way complex Help me through all the harsh effects (...might change to "halfway through" later) Mick goes for the bomb A couple of rocks(?) with an angel food healing (junk on the top) Gives em back a few quarters Reflex(?) tears and you can feel the flames arching (Over) the roof of the shop That(?) moment they swung on the edge of history Fell into animal time cause... CHORUS Blacked out on the tarmac It was alive with the sweet sounds of sorrow And/are/oh(?) the steamer's alright Mick tries to remember Something kinda cool but it's already fading Back to straight black and white Maybe I needed a hit of down time Covers his eyes with his hands cause... CHORUS
