Testo Vesuvius - Vic Chesnutt
Testo della canzone Vesuvius (Vic Chesnutt), tratta dall'album Ghetto Bells
Trying to clip the creek
To the bank
With a clothespin
Waterlogged system
Rusty spring
Faulty planning
Logic squeezed out like mustard and a corndog
Hypertension is not wisdom
Shoeing the leather strap
Trying to hold the sun
Still
With a bobby pin
Burned fingers
Excellent conductor of heat
Private fantasies are not public policy
Christian charity is a doily over my death boner
Busywork is not the Great Wall of China
Vanity bamboo hut out back behind the beige house
Greed in this South for whitey-boy guilt
Furiously slapping at
The moon
With a cane pole
Trying to prop up
The heavens
With a fresh flat pencil
Some folks are allergic to rubber
I am trying to stitch this one to all the rest of them
But the seams will split
Cold light and clean neapolitan ice cream
Is never truly integrated
Until it's too late
Trying to stop the bleeding
With scotch tape
Platelets spoil adhesion
Fire up the cauterizing iron
It's a branding of necessity
Not scarification
This was a pimple that I tried to pop
It erupted up and out on my countenance
Ugly eruption Vesuvius
Ugly eruption Vesuvius
Ugly eruption Vesuvius
Vesuvius at myself
Vesuvius at myself
