about

"Asteroid" grew out of a song called disaster plan. In South Louisiana, we get to evacuate on a regular basis. Always stressful. Always a pain. I wonder what it might be like in South Louisiana if an asteroid was about to hit. Would people evacuate or just cook rice, get out the grill and wait in case the asteroid brought proteins from outer space? "A Chihuahua on a chain run barks at every car".

lyrics

Face in a bong river overflows
Fire on the beach kelp and catamarans
I wasn't in, in on the plan
Parish roads deserted interstate shut down
See the people in the streets looking at the Asteroid

What falls to earth out of the sky
Snakes slide to cover boats in the wind
What greased the wheels what broke the fall
Trail ride postponed dancers don't move
See the people in the streets looking at the Asteroid

A chihuahua on a chain run barks at every car
Mud ditch driveway truck wheels
The size of an asteroid/asteroid
Moana kiddie pool high up in a tree
At Sunday mass they speak of the asteroid

Hot sunrise young man in spats
Walking a dog named Ralph Ellison
Ralph Ellison barks at the sky
Humps a dog named Randy Weaver

Mexico can wait wait out the storm
Aztec poetry in the style of an atom
Kissing the sky tastes like it smells
Night train goes by shakes in the wind
See the people on the train
Looking out the windows
At the Asteroid
A chihuahua on the chain run
Barks at every car
Mud ditch driveway truck wheels
The size of an asteroid/asteroid
Moana kiddie pool high up in a tree -
At Sunday mass they speak of the asteroid
