about

Recorded in Minneapolis. Written by Joe Hines.

lyrics

His face is fleshed with the road map of a hard fifty years of poor decision. His crooked hands hold a bent cigarette to the vulgar lips of no education. He lives on the block of Lake and 13 in the bell-doored, flea-market colonial, glittered in relics of an empty dream. You can't tell him a thing, he knows it all. And, from every direction come wandering souls, feral and spit-shined in rag-water gin. To crawl in through the windows all pawning for dope, creatures not even the street will take in. He palms his aggression and he growls a cuss, and he puts his dirty hair back with a rag. Where the dead colors of an old TV glow, he hands another sick junkie a bag. This is the parlor of the shooting gallery where the lungs of the city cough smoke. Where you see dreams lose their mystery and children come to lose hope.
