Country Slow

from Traveller EP by Monty Bevins

about

The relief found in the countryside upon escaping the hustle and bustle of a city

lyrics

Everywhere I look streets awash with disorder
Seminal soul distorter throwing its weight around
Everyone I see head down gathering water
Half to a neon quarter for where you can pour it out

85 come before the smoke pours out the valley floor now from the cavity
86 sound the horn, announce my soul reborn, renounce the weight that falls behind

Toot toot gonna take me a train out of my own dead merry go brain
All the volatile versions of myself
Two tickets for me and my soul way down the back with the grain and coal
Where I can be assured that there’s enough on board to burn me out,
out into the country slow

Everything I knew swallowed up whole at the border
Everything you had taught her down to the bottom of the well
Every time I slow I’m a dead beat backwater
But hidden is a flow toiling out under me

85 come before the smoke pours out the valley floor now from the cavity
86 sound the horn, announce my soul reborn, renounce the weight that falls behind

Toot toot gonna take me a train out of my own dead merry go brain
All the volatile versions of myself
Two tickets for me and my soul way down the back with the grain and coal
Where I can be assured that there’s enough on board to burn me out,
out into the country slow

Country gone done slow me down against all odds again
