lyrics

Your eyes trap the light like a beer bottle
sinking in the river on a moonlit night.
Bootlace tourniquet holding back a stocking lace
tapping out a tattoo on your thigh.
Your poor heart is beating like a hawk moth's wing
trapped beside a spider in a jar.
You know you should be going
but the beer tap is flowing
as you fumble for the key to your car.

[chorus]
Who you owe the money to?
They've been asking round here for you.
Who you owe the money to?
There's a laminated kodak photostat description of you.

Your eye's like a lantern hanging in the wind
strung out along the river bank.
Whipcrack pistol shot out in the parking lot
you're losing all the colour from your head.
Hid out in the boathouse, shaking like a field mouse,
snakes skate the surface of the lake.
You've been in trouble since your mama let your papa
talk her into jumping in the sack.

[chorus]

Your eyes are like a butane spitting out a blue flame
trying to cast a shadow in the rain.
Alarm bells, siren swells, muzzle flash and fishtail
ripping up the oyster shell.
Kill the light, flick the switch, push it in a drainage ditch,
I think somebody's looking out for it.
Run into the cover crop, kick your city shoes off.
You're gonna bring your dinner back up

[chorus]

about

Mudlow Brighton, UK

Mudlow play the soundtrack to the dark worries...
when you can't sleep at night!
There's trouble everyday!
The dread of a flat tire
on a country two-lane road
at ten o'clock at night,
where you can still be seen.
Somebody's at the back door,
there's a lady at the bar you used to know, and she's strapped,
...and a jukebox plays a Mudlow album.
~Rick Saunders.
