Squeak Vic Chesnutt

The wall came down
Yes I saw a kid chiseling
The reporter is a new age junkie
Keeps his needles in a pyramid
Camera on his shoulder
And chips on the pavement
A hundred German dollars
Well don’t that just about pay my rent?
I am weak
Outlook is bleak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
Well the picture is flickering
A surge of some kind
If you shake that thing more than 3 times
You’re liable to go blind
Ruby shoes and a sparkly hat
Eyeballing crass commercialism
Well I couldn’t live like that
I am weak
Outlook is bleak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
The picture is flickering
A surge of some kind
If you shake that thing more than 3 times
You’re likely to go blind
Allies
Enemies
Summits to climb
Warsaw pacts
Remaking maps
Yes it’s all pink on the inside
Yes I am weak
Outlook is bleak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
Yes I’m on stage commencing to squeak
