The body like soft serve, dripping down in the June sun,
I tried to shoot a thought, but the thought sunk.
Nothing to do but scratch words in the dirt and watch the water roll down...

Phantom kisses buzzing like the insects.
Beads of sweat dripping down on the rent check.
My candyland melted down to syrup while I watched the water roll down...

And here comes the lust in phaze, but you're down in Marietta.
So sweet my mouth was seared, but the words you mouthed were sweeter.

My sister, your words can be held against you in a court of law.
My sister, you owe no allegiance to the facts.

And you're talking like the saint on the site of the accident,
Talking like the clause in the lease about the late rent,
Ringing like the random call patched to the payphone,
Talking like the water rolls down...

Watch the water roll down...
And here comes the lust in phaze, but you're down in Marietta.
So sweet my mouth was seared, but the words you mouthed were sweeter.

Talking like the saint on the site of the accident,
Talking like the botched shot, attempt on the President.
Ringing like the change in the legless man's Dixie Cup,
Talking like the water rolls down...

Day undone, day undone, day undone... watch the water roll down.

i love that i was listening to My Favorites Mix stream on RP and this song started playing. no comments in 17 years! crazy!
i was hooked by soul coughing from the first time heard them. this song in particular.

and, true dreams of wichita.

so much fun to see live. 
Painful.
I love this. I love Soul Coughing, I love the opening groove with the bass.... mmmmmmmdoughty
Forget all the haters; Soul Coughing is where it's at. :)
One of the only times a song actually made me turn off RP. I think I've only done that twice before. Truely crappy.
I'm into polytonal stuff to a certain degree, but it would have been nice if the keyboard player had at least hinted at playing in the same key as the rest of the band.
Another selection for my collection of \"5\"s.
More SC please... stuff off of Ruby Vroom would be great.
More from Irresitible Bliss, please! Such a good album!
