"Sherman City" lyrics - LIFTER PULLER

LIFTER PULLER
"Sherman City"

Now we live in domes
And her dome's the dome that always snows
Down on me
I guess she got what was coming for me
She lets me braid her hair
But she never lets me pick out what she wears
Who's that guy telling lies behind the junior high?
It turns me on
I learned to dance
To the "Mountain Song" out on that grass
I think I made Juanita laugh

She says, "we'll wake up tomorrow
In the parking lot of Rainbow"
But every time I see an eagle
It's a filthy fucking seagull
Grab my clothes and tap my toes
I tell myself
This ain't no place like Rome

I know that Rome's the place she always goes
Down on me
And it's not just gravity
Because I tell her things
She thinks that I'm the way that James Brown sings
The Sex Machine
I feel good now that you're gone
And outside the club
Is where we spill our drinks in memory of
All those guys
Who didn't make it to the dawn

She says, "we'll wake up all bloody
In the parking lot of Friendly's
But every time I chase a squirrel
It rips apart my world
Grab my clothes and blow my nose
I sell myself
This ain't no place to jones"

She's proud of her soundproof bedroom
It gets so loud, there's like thirty threesomes
And hey, Jones Beach, don't you freak when you see me?
MC's wheel and they free your party
And the boombox rocks and the microphone shocks
Keep this talk inside these blocks
Rooftop cops and the deadbolt locks
Keep those rocks inside these socks
If we're really gonna wait, baby, can we take a shower?
Look just like an otter when I push you under water
