lyrics

Driving home don't go too fast
Now the stars are dying out at last
Without a sound they'll flicker and they'll fade
from the inconsequential worlds that we have made

So stay awake. Don't shut your eyes.
And don't loose sight of the yellow lines
And watch the speedometer as you go
36, 35, 34

And don't worry, it's fine.
Just watch the play of your headlight across the street signs

We had strawberries to garnish our champagne
And rose petals fluttering down like rain
but that was just flirtation don't forget
There's not need to apologize for your regrets

But now look on the shoulder, Oh no somebody rolled
Well God got angry and he lost control
And the broken glass was sprayed into your lane
so you merge into the left one where it's safe

These church bells ring in our ears
but those ghosts are just exhaust my dear

So now if you will, here's the epilogue
The sun is rising to burn off the fog
And now there's no more pennies in the jar
and now there's no more women in the bar
and now there's no more gas to run the car
and now there's no more wishes on our star
Because it's gone, it's over, and the flames are burning out.

about

The Gomorrans Oakland, California

Catharsis is a religious experience. Sin is universal. The Gomorrans seek to blend the two into a transcendent soul happening. Seeing the them is like smoking a $50 cigar that's sealed with the sweat from a Cuban woman's inner thigh, or freebasing powdered absinthe: you'll never be quite the same person. You'll know something the others don't. The Gomorrans tarnish your soul, but in a good way. ... more
