Torn Into Tickets - William McGuffey Perry
Torn into tickets
My eyes and all my fingers
And the backbone’s printed
With another destination
All in ones and zeros
Going somewhere somehow
But I won’t need a decision
I’m filled up with destinations
All in ones and zeros
I bought another
Box of damaged canned goods
And magazines
With their covers torn off
And I brought ‘em back to my place
Then I read the labels
And I ate all the contents
And I ended up with
A hundred extra destinations
(instrumental)
Torn into tickets
My lust and dreams of leaving
Counted up as check and balance
All in ones and zeros
I bought another
Box of damaged canned goods
And magazines
With their covers torn off
And I brought ‘em back to my place
Then I read the labels
And I ate all the contents
And I ended up with
A hundred extra destinations
(long instrumental fade)
