Let it Rip

Let it Rip


here come the associations
here come the union and welcome back
she was a beautiful model
she was so mathematical
she was the disease that we contracted
bit down to ask that friend
what were you helping to defend?

scratchy little needle
stabbed with a pencil
a scattered note
clutching at a bloody coat
and that's all she wrote

flying high fire
6000 miles an hour and wide
spanning a sky
so well defined

dealing out the scars
here comes the easy part
these faded marks on my arm
and knitted stitches on my heart

twinned in the Spanish vertigo
you had a sister looked like my wife
had a sister crazy sister looked like your sister
twinned in the mountain distance
that Spanish vertigo

que tenía una hermana que se parecía a mi esposa
tenía una hermana loca hermana miró como su hermana

falling high wire
6000 kph and why?
driving that guy
over the line

let it rip
let it ride

over the line
but we'll let that slide
we'll let that slide.

Ooh, very cool, Nic!
Lyrics, huh? Lyrical poetry, I think!
Love the "twinned in the Spanish vertigo..." stanza- that is just way too good.
