Sandshone - There's Something Growing Lyrics

There's something growing inside of my neck
Eating me alive like a vicious predator feasting upon its prey
Like a rusty lighter lights up the flames of a thousand mystic motorcycles
Flinging themselves into a velvety purgatory unknown to the common people

The flames lick away at the sorry remains of a copy of 'Duck Hunt'
The gray of the cartridge melting inside of a writhing mass
Each tiny cell growing like a Southern man in front of a cardboard cut-out of Dolly Parton
While the wind whips through the air
And the Talking Heads sing in the background

Once the Southern man has grown
Spain will succeed Florida to America
And all you need to think is this:
Jim Morrison isn't alive
Neither is Michael Jackson Thomas Jefferson Davy Crockett Shakespeare
Or the helicopter that flew Buddy Holly Stevie Ray Vaughan
And 2Pac in the 9th year of the wheat penny

Once the wheat penny rolls
A shoe buckle will rise out of what remains of 'Duck Hunt'
And form into a copy of 'Safe as Milk by' Captain Beefheart
Who is selling steel plows near the entrance of Tennessee

The monsoon of blood will cascade over Mexico
And the entire continent of Pangea will be wiped out
By two meteors which are shaped like Frank Zappa's hands
The fingers will stuff themselves inside of two ferns
And dissolve into a wolf spider
Who will grow two sets of pliers made out of plastic guitars
Shaped like a nose with an orange hanging from the back of the pickup truck
My dad drove in 1986
That still has the scratch where the Death Star flew into its forehead

The face of Manfred Mann will eat the orange
And spit out green seeds that are picked up by golden retrievers
And placed on a conveyor belt in Canada
Which leads straight to Boston

The seeds have been known to jump out of your mouth
And burrow into your neck
Alongside causing short-term memory loss
During lunch I buy this strange cookie off of Max Midgett for $29

There's something growing inside of my neck
