Mosquito Ditch

Well, there's a hole in my pocket where the daytime goes

It just won't hold no stead

Well, when the boulevard's buzzin'

Go down and find your cousin

At the bottom of Mosquito Ditch

Well, corner stores and night clubs, everybody's there

The singer is a cyclops who plays the pedal snare

Well, the jukebox ain't broken, it just plays in slow motion

That's how we like to listen to it down here

Well, codeine in a coffee cup

No seeds in my smoke

It's so easy to speed up

When you're movin' so slow

Well now, I went down to the Sharpstown

And I swore I'd seen the light

They got some women down there with expensive hair

Who can show you around all night

Well, codeine in a coffee cup

No seeds in my smoke

It's so easy to speed up

When you're movin' so slow

Now, the sun's coming up bloodshot, now I'm bummin' a smoke

Everybody on this corner is either busted or broke

Well, the rate's too expensive at this mothball motel

So, it's sleepin' in the parkin' lot with the doors locked

Well, codeine in a coffee cup

No seeds in my smoke

It's so easy to speed up

When you're movin' so slow
