A Tramp and Fugitive Look at Travel Brochures

about

As if the known world doesn’t contain enough frightening mystery, imagine what’s going on beyond. And imagine what’s going on in that unmapped part of the brain. It’s enough to make you squirm. It’s enough to make you cringe. It’s enough to make you “scringe.” No wonder you want to drive to Texaco, fill up the Dodge Dart and just GO somewhere. If you see a discombobulated hitchhiker, probably best to dole out the industrial-level scrutiny.

lyrics

With a dollar as a collar
the only piece of jewelry he owns
the sad sack lost track of his knack
to make it on his charm alone
And he’ll hang out hours straight at the lake
if he can find flat skipping stones
And he talks to himself until 12
confident he’s never been alone.

He’s mad for the shadows
and he doesn’t know where he’ll go
cuts his white hair right with a knife
and leaves it there to blow with the snow
And he’d like to wander the streets sometime
but he’s afraid of UFOs
And he tells himself they’ll forget him
but he knows they can’t let it go

And he’d like to go
(Ain’t gonna sit and wait for things to get better)
Where? He don’t know

And he’d like to go
(Ain’t gonna sit and wait for things to get better)
Where he ain’t known

He throws another stone in
Pins a picture up in his tent
Looks for falling stars
In the folds of his coat
He keeps them rolled up for hope
Even memorized some cities
Even memorized the cities
He looks at them by fire at night
He’ll take them out from time to time.

The whooping went on, and in about a minute I come a-booming down on a cut bank with SMOKY GHOSTS OF BIG TREES on it, and the current throwed me off to the left and shot by, amongst a lot of snags that fairly roared, the current was tearing by them so swift. - Mark Twain “Huckleberry Finn” ... more
