Perpetually Driftless
I polished off a forty
At the Pearl intersection
Downtown drunk
Stumbles my direction
Lawless craze
Haze of petty theft
Forgot the rotten right
With the blue collar left
'LAX' six pack
Sweet aroma
Sat with a cat
Smoking reds from a stoma
Compelled I fell in Taj Ma'hell
Again I swung in
To make, another sell
On the steps with a drink of gin
Stood up abrupt
Said "come on in"
Bars on every corner
Lust in every eye
Creatures of the city
Are always getting high
Tapehead Sam
Baggin' groceries, taggin' walls
Parking ramp fornication
In between the stalls
Don't know what I'm doing
Here without her
As time slips away
Each day
Is more a blur
Accustomed to a lifestyle
Most people consider reckless
Every night ends
With an early morning breakfast
Aimlessly waiting
Shamelessly restless
We will always be
Perpetually Driftless
Unicycle Michael
Riverside park
Jimbo's, Leithold's
Blue bridge arc
Tent City Samurai
Thrusts his sword
Carves up another
As rain it pours
Summer heats up
The city ignites
Fuse of madness
Ties extra tight
Betwixt between the bottom
And Hixon's heights
Sense slips away into the midsummer night
Cry from the alley
The echo screams
Lost delusions
Fever dreams
Comin' down
Right around
Casino downtown
Remnants of a night
All thrown down
Leather-loined stranger
He lurks on every corner
Took off his clothes
When the weather got warmer
Displayed in the motion
The faces make it clear
Most people don't dream
Of ever getting out of here
Accustomed to a lifestyle
Most people consider reckless
Every night ends
With an early morning breakfast
Aimlessly waiting
Shamelessly restless
We will always be
Perpetually Driftless
Accustomed to a lifestyle
Most people consider reckless
Every night ends
With a vegan breakfast
Aimlessly waiting
Shamelessly restless
We will always be
Perpetually Driftless
At the Pearl intersection
Downtown drunk
Stumbles my direction
Lawless craze
Haze of petty theft
Forgot the rotten right
With the blue collar left
'LAX' six pack
Sweet aroma

Smoking reds from a stoma
Compelled I fell in Taj Ma'hell
