Paroles de Gasoline

Outside around the side
form a circle forwar I'm an
outsider on the side
formerly a farm-boy
inside I'm on the side
i'm divided undecided
back then around again
second time's a charm boy

upside mortified
rubber-necking bottle-necking
smoke-stacks cigarettes
polish on the details
i try to stay inside
eyes and ears and curtains closing
they lie on their sides
casualties of retail

back then the earth was green
dirt was black and the air was clean
and then upon the scene
cars and trucks and gasonline
inside i'm petrified
i don't want to hide it anymore

black or white or in between
i'm never really sure which way i lean
hey mister what does it mean he said
cars and trucks need gasoline.
