Marduk T-Shirt Men's Room Incident
Lyrics
Slumped up against the sink
Hair plastered to her cheeks
Marduk t-shirt sticking to her skin
Refugee from a disco in old east Berlin
Weightless, formless, blameless, nameless
Stray syllables were gurgling
From her throat one at a time
Face hidden from my view
I let myself imagine she was you
Only weightless, formless, blameless, nameless
And when I washed my hands
I ran the water hotter than I could stand
Half rising to a crouch
Sinking back down to the floor
When you’re walking keep your head low
Try to leave no traces when you go
Stay weightless, formless, blameless, nameless
Banter
- This is the other song I tend to fuck up live. I'm not trying to jinx myself, just being honest with you. You probably.. I mean who am I to dispense life advice? But when, when a person says he's just being honest this is a good time to start looking for the exists. Especially a potential romantic partner, people who put great priority on just being honest, it means they're about to harm you, in some very essential way. Not just that they're going to screw you over or cheat on you, they're really going to find the vulnerable spot and get to it, because it gives them pleasure, that's how they get their pleasure. And so they say to you "hey, you know I just try to be an honest person" oh my friends, locate all the places to run in a fire, in that kind of situation. This is called Marduk T-shirt Men's Room Incident. (2008-03-02)
- This song is about the inevitable Ron Paul/John Darnielle presidency. (2008-03-20)
- This is a song about a guy who goes into the men's room — to use the men's room, and there's a woman in there, who looks like she's completely out of it, and doesn't really even know he's there. It's sad. (2012-09-09)
