Yawning Abyss

Do you remember neon signs like Factory Tile

Which is in South Bend, Indiana, but it doesn't rotate anymore?

We drove along the boulevards

All lined with ruins of Victorian-style hoarders and those everyday street warriors

We floated by like dreams

Kaleidoscopic remnants of those dreams

Called nightmares where the light is a strange colour

Like before a deadly twister is

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss

You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this

Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss

Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this

We sat in Googie cafés and you had that look upon your face

Because the autumn never came, the autumn never came

I've thought about ceramic figurines and bomb pops

And the summer splashing in the pool, listening to the radio

Supperware, terrariums and pink scotch, yes I'd take

But now your father's home, turn off the TV

Wash your hands, it's supper time

Everybody says they didn't see it coming

It was more like hissing Sleestaks moving slowly slithering with confidence

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss

You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this

Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss

Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this

Come sink with me into the yawning abyss

You'd have to be a crazy person to assert you never wanted this

Come jump with me into the maw of the great yawning abyss

Don't be silly now, you know you've always wanted this
