lyrics

Florida stinks like cigs and flowers
Casino dwellers and aimless hours
It’s rarely sweet, it's never sour…
It’s been a while since I’ve been home

Confront me in the hotel room
Step outside to take a smoke
You thought coming here would change my mind?
Is that supposed to be a joke?

Confront me in the hotel room
Try to tell me what to believe
This is going to end in tears tonight
Storm clouds on the pink concrete

Because I...
I’ve done the research
I see what’s coming
You got a couple little links?
Think you’re better than me?
You’ve got nothing.

So take the kids, but leave the mouse
Leave the modem, take the house
There’s so much you’ll just never know
Handed straight down from God’s throne

Tunnels under Central Park
Spirit cooking for oligarchs
What I’ve seen will come to pass
Till then, we’re through the looking glass

From Palm Beach to the MCC
From Travelgate to 2016
From the South Side to guillotine
Soon we’ll all be free

Because I’ve seen…
The documents
I know the rituals
I know what they do to kids
So this is unconditional

Because it’s all a big web
And you’d never believe who’s right at the nexus
So you can go to hell
I’m going to Texas
