recall the spectacle, splendour and glory
translate the feelings into a story
the bottom of heaven is visible sometimes
in cormac mccarthy, a top down, a tan line

it's a new theme in fiction
it's the new north american friction
it's a new theme in fiction
it's the new sport of splintering diction

i pay the gas bill while you grade the quizzes
you call the folks but it's none of my business
wisdom is wasted on the "hardly can hear me"
whoever misplaced it left happiness near me

it's a new theme in fiction
it's the new north american friction
it's a new theme in fiction
it's the new sport of splintering diction
