  • Picture yourself as you lean on the port rail
    Tossing away your last cigarette
    Picture your finger pushing the doorbell
    Picture the skull and crossbones on the doormat
    Picture yourself on the streets of Laredo
    Picture the Casbah, picture Japan
    Picture your kid with his hand on the trigger
    Picture prosthetics in Afghanistan
    Picture a courthouse with no fucking laws
    Picture a cathouse with no fucking whores
    Picture a shithouse with no fucking drains
    Picture a leader with no fucking brains
    No fucking brains, no fucking brains
    No fucking brains, no fucking brains
    No fucking brains, no fucking brains
    No fucking brains, no fucking brains

    Follow me filming myself at the show
    On a phone from a seat in the very front row
    Follow Miss Universe catching some rays
    Wish You Were Here in Guantanamo Bay
    Picture a seat on a private plane
    Picture your feet nailed to the floor
    Picture a crew who are clearly insane
    Picture no windows, picture no doors
    Glued to a screen in the state of Nevada
    To follow the dream gets harder and harder

    Picture her wrapping a gift for the wedding
    Picture her boiling the water for tea
    Picture the kids climbing into the backseat
    Picture my hand turning the key
    Oh, picture that
    Picture the dog in the pickup ahead
    Picture the tree at the side of the road
    Picture my hands growing steadily colder
    Colder, colder
    Colder, colder
    Colder, colder
    Colder, colder

    Follow me down to a place by the river
    Sold for my kidneys, sold for my liver
    Why so weedy, so fucking needy
    There's no such thing as being too greedy Writer/s: George Waters
