lyrics

Trouble in Bismarck (47X-101)

M’s stash of iodine tabs
Went missing in Fargo after the train
So we’ve cut south to Bismarck
Camp Benzo, the Pharma Ruins, Làngfèi

The air is thick with smoke and sickness
Grey hueco nod by a trash fire
We keep to shadows
but each step, all over, I'm feeling their eyes.


With all the good I’ve seen it’s easy to forget
How trouble can make you mean if you dance too close to it
A person’s a dangerous thing when they’ve got little left
Trouble can make you mean if you sleep too near to it


The maijia wound us round
A maze of narrow streets
We should have cut and run
When we saw the other three

M grabbed my arm and took the tabs
When she saw the knife
Any turn was the right one
Each step all over I’m feeling their eyes


With all the good I’ve seen it’s easy to forget
How trouble can make you mean if you dance too close to it
A person’s a dangerous thing when they’ve got little left
Trouble can make you mean if you sleep too near to it


“Qù nǐ mā de” M said
As we set down our packs
We’d run for half an hour
The whole time looking back

I sat by our small fire
M sleeping at my side
Watching the shadows
the whole night, all over I’m feeling their eyes
