International Small Arms Traffic Blues - Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 2

My love is like a powder keg
My love is like a powder keg in the corner of an empty warehouse
Somewhere just outside of town
About to burn down

My love is like a Cuban plane
My love is like a Cuban plane flying from Havana
Up the Florida coast to the glades
Soviet-made

My love is like the border between Greece and Albania
My love is like the border between Greece and Albania
Big trucks loaded down with weapons
Crossing over every night
Moon yellow and bright
There is a shortage in the blood supply
But there is no shortage of blood
The way I feel about you, baby, can't explain it
Yeah, you got the best of my love

"Fellas, you remember how, in the run through earlier
I was like, ah, let's not practice that one
That one's gonna hurt (hmm)
Well, I'll tell you I was right about that
That song on the ovation will crush your fingers really bad
But I have very intimate knowledge of my bones now
Um, before I was ignorant about my bones
And that's what I've come to talk to you about tonight

Your bones - bones!
Ah, this would be a good lead in to the Star Wars song
But I don't remember how it goes, it's got too many chords
The one about the ultimate Jedi, uh
Who wastes all the other Jedi and eats their bones
(I just know the disco theme from Star Wars)
Yes, and? (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

(It's by Meco! M-E-C-O)
M-E-C-O, where was Meco from, John?
(I assume Greece?)
Greece? He's gotta be, right?
I'm saying yes, no bio on Meco
There's no Meco documentary that you know of?
(Not that I know of)
This is - documentary makers of the US

How are you letting John Wurster down so badly
With no Meco documentary?
He's seen all the rock docs, he's seen the Seven Seconds one
The, uh, the, the Cro-Mags one, the, um, Agnostic Front one
Basically if it took place on the Lower East Side, he's seen it, right
(Back in the day)
Back in the day! You know, when music was real
(You'd see them parking in the street and you'd know) (ha-ha-ha-ha)

(Get a slice)
You get a slice, you get a-, get a slice
You know where to get a slice where they get you a good slice?
(Benny's) (ha-ha-ha-ha)
Alright, this, uh, next song, um, is about when a person
When a person, wants, or needs, or happens
To get stabbed to death outside San Juan"
It's called, "Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan"
