Minnesota Freak

from So Whaddaya Think? by Mark Lint and the Fake

/

lyrics

I'm searchin' in my pocket for a spare change of heart
And I'm wondrin' if it's ever gonna come
I'm fiddlin' with the locket that I swiped from K-mart
And I'm feelin' like a viscous pool of scum

Minnesota freak gunnin' down these parts; they're not where I belong
Though the violence is ineffable it is nonetheless still wrong
Minnesota freak ducking Jim-Bob Sartre's bleak avalanche of shame
Though I'm fuzzy on the details I'll at least destroy the frame

I wonder if the average fellow wants to wreck his brain
Or if someone he once knew pushed him away
Was she the type that looked for something well below plain?
Or was she the type that thought death was okay?

Minnesota freak gunnin' down these parts; they're not where I belong
Though the violence is ineffable it is nonetheless still wrong
Minnesota freak flipping off his heart to march off in a snit
Is the aftermath still pleasing when your face is full of it?

Minnesota freak pushing desperately to undermine this room
Though the violence isn't obvious, it is nasty, and it's soon
Minnesota freak tuning up his mind and dusting off his gun
And I'm quite sure that he's not the only one
