Q&A
Onward to Tasmania (Hommel West) Lyrics
And then we came to the part of the story
Where the corners started getting tight
Ears pressed up against the motel wall
Listening to disembodied voices all night, all night
Lamp on the chintzy end table
Beer bottle full of cigarette butts
Knock at the door and then silence
Answer it if you've got the guts
If you've got smoke, and dust, and spiders
Hot exhaust, and grime, and mosquitoes
And you, like a boy scout
Brave, loyal and true
If they come with their colors all out on display
Well that gives you one thing, alright
But when they dress themselves up like the Latter-day Saints
We let 'em in and lock the door tight
Lock 'em up tight
When we project our black-and-white films on the wall
You can hear their stomachs turn
Your eyes on mine
Mine fixed on the door
And everybody in here's gonna burn
Everybody needs smoke, and dust, and spiders
Hot exhaust, and grime, and mosquitos
And you, like a boy scout
Brave, loyal and true
Where the corners started getting tight
Ears pressed up against the motel wall
Listening to disembodied voices all night, all night
Beer bottle full of cigarette butts
Knock at the door and then silence
Answer it if you've got the guts
If you've got smoke, and dust, and spiders
Hot exhaust, and grime, and mosquitoes
And you, like a boy scout
Brave, loyal and true
Well that gives you one thing, alright
But when they dress themselves up like the Latter-day Saints
We let 'em in and lock the door tight
Lock 'em up tight
You can hear their stomachs turn
Your eyes on mine
Mine fixed on the door
And everybody in here's gonna burn
Everybody needs smoke, and dust, and spiders
Hot exhaust, and grime, and mosquitos
And you, like a boy scout
Brave, loyal and true
