Clear Spirits - Les Savy Fav

clear spirits, i need no greater proof

the proof of me is you

i’m swallowing the evidence — it’s the only thing to do

everything they did to build this pyramid

all the souls who died you could see ‘em in the pharaoh’s eyes

with a far away gaze written on his face

mistakes — some day they’ll make him live with that

i am dead and i am buried

and my body is erupting (?)

and the worms they are all feasting on my face and on my fingers

and you laugh as my epitaph gets worn down by the water

gets worn down by the wind of sons and daughters

as to lies within (?)

the tremors started gently but then the city shakes

first we lost grand central soon the rest fell in its wake

the bridge and tunnels all collapsed

it took us days to build a raft

from metro cars and deli bands (?)

we portish (?) up to hackensack

central park seems like a dream to me now

clear spirits, i need no greater proof

the proof of me is you

i’m swallowing the evidence — it’s the only thing to do

there’s a brass band playin' while i’m

selling my soul to satan

hands thrown up in the air

cuz we, like, just don’t care (sing it like a valley girl)
