LIGHTNIN' CRACKLIN' KNEES She says, "kid, you're a free modern brother - a real slick young cock. Oh, babe, you're in for a riot: let's get a roll on this rock." He says, "momma, you drive a hard bargain, but I''l hold you up yet." She laughs as she takes the last drag off of his very first cigarette. She says, "you've got a wallow to your wit; you've got a surl to your sense of self." He touches her hand, and he clenches her hair, and he kisses the smoke right out of her mouth. Thunder clappin' cross the floor / rumblin' up my feet. Loose lips livid swinging hips / lightnin' cracklin' knees. Mirrors make people feel a bigger room; they feel the center of more attention. The mixed drinks make for a soggier tomb: casket cask of potentions. Crier-village drunk associated bliss full-rim-vim, vice, vinegar, and piss. She took too much too many times, and now (don't you know?) she's square with the seedy circle's kicks. So as I was saying before, this is a love song: it's a song about two people in love and together, but the dynamic contradiction that drives the plot forward is they are not in love with eachother. See, he is in love with this vision of his mother he sees in particular women. And she is in love with for what her father left her: she is in love with the crack cocaine - clappin' cross the floor / rumblin' up my feet. Loose lips livid swinging hips / lightnin' cracklin' knees. Thunder clappin' cross the floor / rumblin' up my feet. Loose lips livid swinging hips / lightnin' cracklin' knees. Let's get a roll on this rock.

Establishing shot of Janice coming through door, tossing keys down and hanging her coat: the camera is at coffee mug level with clear view of the doornob. Janice's partner Rick sits in a tight, dining room, at a table for one and a half. There are no lights on, but an aquarium provides illumination. We notice his eyes are blue like the water. We notice his eyes notice Janice, but we notice nothing in them changes: his eyes say nothing more than that they are the reflection of the aquarium.

STADIUM DRUMS (You know) my father said the family name means shit-shoveller (be)cause that's what life is. (Got your) Commodore Sixty-Four; got your older brother's skating board. In your younger sister's jeans: tell me again, how do you fit them things? With a Six-Six-Six-pack; (I heard) the bangers brought a six-pack, and I heard you brought a half ounce out of every bottle of - Your mother's at home chain-smoking, watching re-runs of 7th Heaven. It was the bummer of Ninety-Eight: they said you had to repeat the grade. With The Stadium Drums The Stadium Drums (And) The Stranded Comes (Oh) The Stranded Comes Have you ever been to that or there in the springtime? Have you ever been to this or here in your right mind? Where your name been comin' from since where your name been a while back when? (...because that's what life is...) (Lost your) Commodore Sixty-Four; lost your older brother's skating board. You're at home with your mother; you're grounded; watchin' re-runs; watchin' 7th Heaven. And it's one of those episodes where the Reverend makes the mistake of letting Lucy give the Sermon (because) all she ever talks about is how much she loves her own cage. With The Stadium Drums The Stadium Drums (And) The Stranded Comes (Oh) The Stranded Comes
