lyrics

Four hours later and
they've caught the bomber and
they've shot another and all
the east coasters
can finally go outside.

In West Texas, they explode without reason.
It's a workplace hazard.

In the five hours without wiring I stared
at the pulled shades of an airplane as sudden altitude drops
sent fingers to armrests and
flight attendant's spread on smiles
clicked into place.

I swear the lights went out at least once.

Three days earlier, eating a style-of-pizza
in it's city-of-origin, and watching Boston explode on the news.
And all the east coasters, they were marathon runners,
worried about their families, yeah,
they were feeling blue.

At some point in all of this, I failed myself
and AMERICA
by relying soley on print media.
But I was on vacation--
whatcha gonna do?

Everything I do's a new danger activity--
everyehwere I go they're building No Go Zones.

Six days earlier, packing in Seattle
I'd been more worried about what this trip would do
what Hot Dougs T-shirts
what new souvenirs
what sweet lessons
was I gonna learn?
I'd been more worried about losing my girlfriend
in the loop of buildings, more worried about catching a stray bullet, more worried about being frozen in place by a sudden blast of snow.

I'll tell ya, man, RUNNING had been the least of my concerns.

Freeway Park Seattle, Washington

Much like the city park it is named after, Freeway Park the band aimed at being a structured, brutalist space with flashes of grace and beauty, but more often than not ends up dirty, slightly dangerous, and full of drunk people.
