I Need Some Scratch Songtext
von The Dave Graney Show

My trip is all queer now
My scene is so weird
Don′t know how it happened
How I came to be so confused
Reputation precedes me
Name has a life of its own
Can't do a thing about it
I need some scratch

My road is a mad split-level junction
Sound is all distorted
Ponderous, full of portent
The more I struggle
The tighter the rope gets
The deeper I sink into the black sand


I′m dreaming I've been a fool
My music is heavy
It's all bent out of shape
Lies in the middle of the floor
I′m out of the picture
There′s nothing I can do
To bring it to its senses

Open my mouth
Sound is dense
Moving so slow
People come up and trip me over
'Cause they can
I need some scratch
The more I struggle
The tighter the rope gets
The deeper I sink into the black sand
I′m dreaming I've been a fool

It wasn′t always the case
I looked at bullshit
And let the sounds fly
Crazy and rootless
Like a cloud above my head
I'd get dizzy just keeping track of myself
I used to be the one
They cried wolf and ran


I need some scratch
Some old time weirdness
I need some scratch
I need some scratch
I need some scratch
