lyrics

O I mourn and yet exult, I am rapt with love for all
Walt Whitman Pioneers! O Pioneers! 1865

Bussed into the woods, with a bag of books,
The mirror-driver claiming vanguard.
Formative experience, hot summer long
From asphalt mallow pillow
To last pants off onto-party.

Whiskey butter,
Green-back-a-dollar,
She don't give a damn.
Queen pirate,
Worker bee,
Single, full and fitted sheets.
Any ice-cream face
Proves easy melting

Baby boy show off the monsters you designed during a lecture
On the crisis in the furniture and the twenty pound tenet familiar.
Parastitic pioneers, disturbed little insect creatures
Left rafter for sofa, but blood-suckers don't live long 'round here, Pioneer.
And any ice-cream face
Proved easy melting

Elite hustling Pioneers,
Flipping off the frackers
On the way to Diana's Place,
For waffles and pancakes.
It seems to make perfect sense,
In the thickly dark and intimate territory.
In these woods at night, you might meet somebody.
