He smoked up a deal
When he woke it was real
Too late to have sussed.

He slept at the wheel
But when he woke it was real
Too late to have sussed.

The streets were our oyster
We smoked up in Khoisan
And we turned our noise on
We knew how to fight.
The streets were our oyster
We smoked urban poison
And we turned all this noise on
We knew how to fight.

Three years ago, our overdraft failed and we drifted in space
The eggs are fried
Three years ago, our nova-drive failed and we drifted in space
P.X.R. 5
I just took all night with my sewing machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
I just took a ride in a silver machine
And I'm still feeling mean.
I've got a sewing machine.
I've got a silver machine.
I've got a sloopy lavine
I've got a silver machine
We got lost and so we then left.
When you're lost it's so relentless.

When she comes, she moans another's name.
