Another Stevedores song that was in progress when Spencer passed
away is called "Still" - more of Spencer's lyrics. There is a
Cactus House Basement recording of this song just as there is for
Prospero and a few others.
Thanks to Ben J for pulling these lyrics together
Still
(verse 1)
Detroit is a desert wasteland
some buildings just stuck in the sand
and the sun beats down all around so hard
you can fry an egg on the ground
and it hasn't rained
in so many days
and the dryness of things is
its (probably) gonna make me crazy
(verse 2)
oh heaven would you rain
oh heaven would you
rain down on little old me
I'm thirsty
I got needs I am
very very needful seed
brooklyn is a half ass road show
a blood smut dope rodeo
with the clowns cracked out so bad on plastic
that it was ghetto fantastic
and it's just insane
how long it's been since it rained
and the dryness of things is
well its gonna make me crazy
(chorus)
all this tequila give us dehydration
these women give us these negotiation
and we know we get no satisfaction
we sit completely still
(verse 2)
(verse 1)
(chorus)
and the atrophy sets in
(repeat)
