1. The Bridge
[Lee]
`bout a week ago. `bout a week ago I was driving one
night with my father. In an old chevvy pick-up truck that
we borrowed from a cousin of mine. And we were
moving some furniture into New York. It was late in the
evening. And the truck was really old and really worn
out. The inside of the cab, really smelled a lot of gas. So
the whole entire trip we were gagging for breath and
getting very high of the fumes. And the steering was
loose. It was typical old truck `53 chevvy or something
like that. The whole bit. But anyway. We were driving
in, and, we took the BQE and we were going to the
Brooklyn bridge and we were going on and over the
Brooklyn bridge. We got to that section where the
pavement falls away and is replaced by those metal slats
which make up the floor of the bridge itself. And your,
and your car, wheels run and glisten over that and make
this kind of a sound. You know what I mean? You've
heard it I'm sure. And the wheels slip and slide a little
bit and you always feel like maybe you're gonna get a
little bit too close to that wall of the Bridge. And we're
riding along listening to this sounds. And other cars were
driving by making other sounds. That would have the,
you know, that, and that doppler effect as they go by,
right? And it was dark and it was night and the fumes
were making me high and I was surrounded by a wall of
guitars about a hundred feet up above the East river.
And I liked it.

4. Live Infinity
[television: Tom Brokaw?]
... better prepare our students for the realities of the job market
Zuveski said a coalition of educators bussiness excecutives and labour leaders
would concentrate on vocational training programs
for the kinds of jobs that actually exist

[Lee]
in the car we drove
the stream of - fuck -
the road steaming
streaming past your house

I'm in the fifth gear now
what road is this?
left hand of darkness
dark holding court
death holding court in the corner of your eye

through there
move through there
pass through the void
flying thee
flying thee this is the wrong direction

love has me sex in a red trail rosebud
you move as though everything was still
no movement seems like something to you
if I met you on the street now walking slow with the radio on
I could look right through you

the images rush over me
deep in the slipstream
feeding this slip dream
I jack into the matrix of youth plug into that rush

you're still on the streets
and not moving at all
you stand on the corner
and pray slipping away
stand on the corner and pray
pray slipping away
stand on the corner
and pray slipping away
reach out a hand
lend me your hand
don't look
hypnotize
don't look
hypnotize
don't look
hypnotize
don't look

back to the surface
let me put you back on that street corner
let me sit you back on that bench there

let me in through your eyes and raise your head up slow
stretch your gaze down the road and past the cars
down gone by the down down shops and out of bounds
and off down the street

and clean out of town
and clean out of town
and clean out of town
and clean out of town
and clean out of town
and - clean - out - of - town
