about

This one takes a turn.

Introduces dog bones. The production decisions came first and inspired the Smiths reference.

lyrics

Tourists Film the Earthquake

Sea waves across our knees
The tendrils of anemones
Dog bones under fallen leaves
Bones connecting silently
Underneath the waves, the waves

The earth trembled as predicted
Splintered along the backbone of the shore
And nothing fell
Fixing the pictures out of skew
Taught ropes in the air
The smell of burning, burning

And it just burns
Like a motel
Where we had sex and pulled the TV off of the top shelf
Like Christmas trees
Electric fire
Like Joan of Arc
Strapped in and wired, wired

Go get the bleach
The bones keep bleating
And make it neat
Another round just like we’re drinking
