Vic Chesnutt - Squeak

The wall came down, yes I saw it (?)
The reporter is a new age junkie, keeps his needles in a pyramid
Camera on his shoulder and chips on the pavement
A hundred german dollars, well don't that just about pay my rent
Yes I am weak, outlook is bleak yes I'm on stage come and listen to squeak
Yes I'm on stage come listen to squeak.
Well the picture is flickering
A surge of some kind
If you shake that thing more than 3 times you're liable to go blind
Pretty shoes and a sparkly hat
Eyeballing crass commercialism, well I couldn't live like that
I am weak, outlook is bleak yes I'm on stage come listen to squeak
Yes I'm on stage come listen to squeak
The picture is flickering, a surge of some kind
If you shake that thing more than 3 times you're likely to go blind!
Allies, enemies, summits to climb!
Warsaw pacts, remaking maps, yes it's all pink on the inside!
Yes I am weak, outlook is bleak yes I'm on stage come listen to squeak
Yes I'm on stage come listen to squeak
