The Salesman, Denver Max Lyrics

Yeah, through the screen door, your thoughts are quarantined,
Yeah, and by the way you smell, I can tell that you're fifteen.
Yeah, my name is Denver Max and I eat heart attacks.
Yeah, from your mouth to your hands to the floor, you're bubbling syntax.

'Cause what crickets see is between you and me.
Yeah, scarecrows think would turn your eyeballs pink.

Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops little girl,
Before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead.
Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops little girl,
Your tongue is withered and it's heavier than lead.
Won't you just step into the car little girl, car, little girl?
Your parents don't understand what's in your head.
We're really onto something special, little girl, special little girl,
You're blushing red, your head can't hide those thoughts of dread.

Yeah, through the screen door, a-kiss me like a queen.
Yeah, it tastes like metal in my mouth, a-rusty Listerine.
Yeah, my name is Denver Max, a-please excuse the mask,
Yeah, running down my face, a-bound by tacks and paste.

'Cause what crickets see is between you and me.
Yeah, what scarecrows think would turn your eyeballs pink, turn your eyeballs pink.
And with a face like that, you'll never ever gonna make it big.
You'll never find a boyfriend unless you get it adjusted.

Yeah, my name is Denver Max, won't you come sit on my lap?
Yeah, 'cause the only thing you own is everything you lack.

Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops little girl,
Before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead.
Don't you try to call the cops, little girl, cops little girl,
Your tongue is withered and it's heavier than lead.
Won't you just step into the car, little girl, car little girl,
Your parents don't understand what's in your head.
We're really onto something special, little girl, special little girl,
You're blushing red, your head can't hide those thoughts of dread,
Can't hide those thoughts of dread.

By the time we hit Tuscon,
Your parents, little girl, parents, little girl
Be wondering where their pretty little blonde has gone.
By the time we hit Mexico,
You'll know little girl, know, little girl
That Denver Max will always be the only one.
By the time we hit the ocean,
We'll jump little girl, jump, little girl
Down to find the undersea sun.

Yeah, before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead.
Yeah, before you pick up the phone, you'll be dead.
Oh, you'll be dead.

Won't you just step into the car, little girl, car little girl,
Your parents don't understand what's in your head.
We're really onto something special, little girl, special little girl,
You're blushing red, your head can't hide those thoughts of dread,
Can't hide those thoughts of dread.

I think this song is about Denver Max kidnapping a 15 year old girl and having his way with her before he drowns her and then himself. Spooky stuff, wonder why they write about stuff like this?

well, this song was actually inspired by a short story by joyce carol oates. it's called "where are you going, where have you been?"

I actually read the short story after reading your comment, and I think I agree. Personally, the song and the story singularly didn't have much of an effect on me, but after reading the story while listening to the song.. man.. :\

I think they write stuff like this to show just how evil people can be. And I am absolutely going to look for that short story.
