Unmarked White Vans

from Unposed Questions by Mama Would Be Proud

lyrics

Hey all you unmarked white vans driving down the public street. You been trappin' up rapscallions in your cages sittin' sweet? Because there's nothing like a jolt of fury when you got no strength to use. I always end up aiming right at me, but that's the ritual I'd choose. And I won't will myself to sleep. No choices, I have to play along. I have to turn my cheek. Exploding knee, twisting in three, locked in two with one more sting: you have to play along even when you don't want to breathe. I guess I wouldn't mind being kidnapped is what I'm really trying to say. I long for one lonesome floorboard to score my head a stable place to lay. My moods will continue spinnin' so I'll never be wound up tight. I'm too mopey for all the grinning that I do. Wake up twelve times at night and that's the closure that I get. And I'm lucky to get that. Either/or I'm torn and my jaw is sore from the "let's just leave it there at that..." Won't will myself to sleep. No choices: I have to play along. I have to turn my cheek. Exploding knee, twisting in three, locked in two with one more sting: you have to play along even when you don't want to breathe. Even when you don't want to breathe.
