Continental Drifters - Mezzanine lyrics

Written by Carlo Nuccio

Main Voice: CARLO

Produced by Continental Drifters

Released on 'Continental Drifters' (1995)

Steel train hummin' after Scott starts to sail

Well, they shine up like hair rails

South consume my thought

I start to pick everything apart

Like I would rather sip my milk through a paper straw

I reflect on the world that I've seen

Between ground flow and the mezzanine.

My shoe lace is busted

But it won't make the escalator stop

Should I get pulled in on top

Carefull not to step on my light

It might become electrofied

Still I draw conclusions on the things I've observed

Even before I was eighteen

Between ground flow and the mezzanine.

And bees make slum honey

From an old dye sewn in a paper cup

I'd rather hide than to say, "What's up?"

And if I whistle a tune

It passes off from room to room

Still I'd take time and note the sun shinin' through, it red

All I caught was a daydream

Between ground flow and a mezzanine.
