lyrics

Slap the black toothbrush along the gray bridgework
and mix a flowerbed into a froth of bone dirt
sick of digging graves, I wanna be chum for the pool sharks
at the truck-themed bar
my sisters and brothers,
in the closing half hour it's a job is like any other
I put them all down, I pack up my weapon
Yeah I sink them all and then I pack up my weapon

Union 001 in a sky-blue seventeen ton
looking for a ramp to test my temper tantrum-throwing brakes on
i know a cone that rises out of Gaia’s collarbone
and there’s gonna be an industrial groan
heard by all the sandbaggers over their obsoleted CB radios

honk if you’ve got a wraith of a cop that you can’t outrun
honk if you’ve got a weapon to your head
honk if you got a problem, might require we scrap
or if you want to screw around on your spouse in the back of my cab
honk if i’m starting to drift into your lane,
unless you don’t mind the proximity?
