Greasy Jungle - The Tragically Hip

Greasy jungle metropolis noir

Easy tangles the easiest so far

Ah

I drove down your road

to Hazeldean where I tasted

your funeral home's sandwiches and coffee

I saw your hands melt into one another

I saw you grieve and grow

care alot about one another

I stood at your sink

and I felt your warm water

I washed your dishes

and I looked out your kitchen window where I

saw a soulful gymnast

melt in the air and shudder

just above the snow

making moves that just weren't there

Ah

Velvet callow with wet hands

I turned out the lights and

breathing shallow hesitated

then went upstairs where

I picked up your housecoat

dried my hands and

touched your hair

and just then you awoke

you could never really barely care

Ah

I heard this song tonight, and I had to pause. I just stood there with a stupid grin on my face. You know how a song can make you go back in time? This one took me back to Assiniboia circa 1994 - Grade nine. I was siting on Empire Road across from the Kin Park with Lisa singing this damn song at the top of our lungs. Well, we were more like laying down on the road, screaming at the top of our lungs....
