Guided by Voices - Local Mix-Up / Murder Charge lyrics

Hand-maiden ashtray

Facing the light

Local mix-up

Someone fix up

What we broke up

The pleasure-seekers

Are out there tonight

Local mix-up

Someone fix up

What we broke up

You as a person

Have got to think fast

Cause this is a party

But it's not gonna last

This is the same place the fly got smashed

Dressing x7

Like a queen

Dressing x7

Like a queen

Aluminum ashtray

Facing the light

Local mix-up

Someone fix up

What we broke up

The pleasure-seekers

Are out there tonight

Local mix-up

Someone fix up

What we broke up

In the early days

He was burting with confidence

I saw the light

The shiny dream

Over the years

He beagn to submerge

The nervous wreck

We know him to be

The nervous, twisted wreck

So watch out for Joker Bob

I wish he were just a distant relative

But he's razor-close like blue green gelatin

Icy-cold

Acid in his heart

With this we shall draw the electrifying conclusion

They strapped him in

Still chewing his bubblegum

They did the Jesus-shock

As the reporters watched

Finally, his ticker stopped

And they buried him with a smile on his puss

And that's the electrifying conclusion
