Self​-​Isolation Row

from This Speakeasy Fucking Sucks by Sean Woosley

about

It is late. I am drunk. I pay homage to Bob Dylan. I am lazy with the lyrics. I am drunk. It is late.

lyrics

They're buying ads for the baptism
They're playing the recession down
The old ugly exit is empty
The uproar and confusion has been rooted out

There goes the all-knowing anti-Icarus
Who left him standing in the clear
He had two feet tied to the crane operator
The other foot was in his mouth

And the payroll con brigade
They be chilling when there's nothing else to do
Oh baby, that's just you and your dude this morning
On Self-Isolation Row

Oh baby, it's the longest road
They should've just cut my heart out
Least then I wouldn't still be breathing
This lingering frustration in and out, day in and day out

It's like a violent meditation
This bad chemistry of me and you
We both just want to be left alone
On Self-Isolation Row

They're buying ads for the baptism
They're playing the recession down
The ugly exit is empty now
Uproar and confusion all weeded out

Oh, great, here's the all knowing anti-christ
Who left you way down in the creek
Two feet tied to the firehose
Crane operator of the year

Then all those ladies and their congregate
They be chilling like they had it made
As your dude and you look in this morning at
Self-Isolation Row

Looking from all sides at Self-Isolation Row

The con brigade they be chilling like they love it
When there's nowhere else to go and
No one else is above it

As your dude and I look out into the morning snow
I know I'm probably going to disappear to
Self-Isolation Row

Do you think that you have it, now?
Is it something like you never had before?
I never know how the virus is
Unless you give me some more
