The Fiery Furnaces - Crystal Clear lyrics

At 4 o'clock

Just after work

I got my check

I held my breath

The phone rings tell 'em I ain't never here

The overunder

Made a blunder

I gave my cell phone

To my cousin

He plays the threats I get to his friends at school

I board the dog

At Uncle Nicky's

I put my hood up

I have to run out

You welched the bet I'm soaking wet too close to an OTB

I took a train

Got off at Trenton

Bought a ticket

A bus to Vinton

Won't stop sweating till I get to Davenport

On the bridge

On the bus

Bye-bye Moline

Look at the water

Filthy, dirty, cloudy, muddy, messy, mucky, crystal clear

I got my palm read

For $7.50

She looked me over

I bought a crystal

Filthy, dirty, cloudy, muddy, messy, mucky, crystal clear
