[00:11.42]It was the rage of plastics; I was 24
[00:16.94]I was doing my time on the dancefloor
[00:22.44]It was all polyester and leopard print
[00:28.45]And Fabergé coming off the ladies
[00:31.59]I know it's a blight to the brightest how our designs unseam
[00:37.06]Like the backside of some skirt in some old man's dream
[00:42.58]I got caught putting off all my traveling plans for this refinery job and his maybes
[00:54.05]With hair in ribbons, stockings in runs
[00:58.84]Fashion bricks out of the breaks as they come
[01:04.76]Land goes for less downwind of the plant
[01:09.64]There's no telling how long you'll be paying
[01:21.21]There are scores of us born in the silent spring
[01:26.85]Whose wombs won't take, won't bear anything
[01:31.97]He had want for a daughter, and I had want for a son
[01:37.38]Now I rock my moon faced man like one
[01:40.81]Was it the river on fire that made us what we became?
[01:46.61]Was it the cup that we drank from, or what it contained?
[01:52.01]Does it move to the beat of the oil drums
[01:57.23]Or flow out of our eyes as we're wailing?
[02:00.99]And I see it rise in ribbons to the clouds overhung
[02:06.37]Just to spit back down on everyone
[02:11.81]Land goes for less downwind of the plant
[02:17.24]There's no telling how long you'll be paying
[02:50.97]I have tried to be patient as I've been made nurse
[02:56.83]Get some help from the percs of my devotion's curse
[03:02.03]And I know, yeah, I know the man's pain is much worse
[03:07.43]For the moon and his grace are now waning
[03:11.14]You say the first one now will later be last
[03:16.91]My faith in scripture's come to pass
[03:22.01]Na I won't play dumb, I'm done trying to sweeten this load
[03:30.71]And you give me a ribbon, you tell me to run
[03:36.45]To land my legs to that narcissus fund
[03:41.27]But land still goes for less downwind of the plant
[03:46.80]Making this living just brings about dying
[03:49.98]I got a rage of plastics, the refinery floor
[03:55.51]I got a rage of plastics and nothing more
[04:01.00]Now I won't play dumb and I'm done lying
[04:06.92]Making this living just brings about dying
[04:10.68]But land still goes for less downwind of the plant
[04:15.79]Making this living just brings about dying
[04:18.53]Making this living just brings about dying
[04:20.85]Making this living just brings about dying
