Failure To Remain Inconspicuous

from Proto by The Jack McCoys

	/

lyrics

Ducked under the awning and threw up in my hands
A troubled pose with my secret exposed
Eyed the cars as they all went by in the shit-flecked night

You’ve always been too excited
By other people’s good ideas
A gauge by which they hear themselves think
And wish themselves silent in the shit-flecked night

Tried napping on the bus ride home
But despite my exhaustion
Was kept awake
By the murmurs of my fellow travelers
Who refused to ignore the smell
