lyrics

last year i used to live with a girlfriend in
her best friend slash dealer’s basement
she’d catch shifts at a BP on kenneth and
pretend not to notice me shoplift

and on nights when we couldn’t afford
to go upstairs and see if we could score
we’d drop dex and just lay on the floor
go on soulseek and pass some stale weed back and forth

after a line though i’d grin like a kid
tell everyone that i love them and then
drive over the ford parkway bridge
with the seats back listening to B96

whole reason i wanted to be a DJ
was the feeling i got when i was rolling off my face
thought that sidechain compression sincerely was
the most important thing in all of existence because of

the upper cuts and dj sprinkles
tender buttons and fabulous muscles
afro finger and gel and eureka
the ecstasy of saint theresa

world of echo in shining violence
i feel like dying i feel like dying
planetary natural love gas webbin
let us never speak of it again

spent a half hour after bar close
chasing an afterparty out in the snow
climbed four stories up a fire escape
knocked three times on the metal door to the space
and got nothing

the only party even going on that weekend was
some shit the 90s guys were throwing oh yeah you know the ones
going on about some rave from way back when
if they’re fucked up and they forget we are not their friends
we didn’t hear about it though because fuck those guys
who feign respect so unconvincingly if offered a line
and dole out nuggets of outdated condescending advice
as if it’s any less annoying if they’re being polite

but i mean that’s ok consider the reverse
sometimes the people who like us are somehow even worse
slamming so hard up on the booth that serato skips
to say “play every van she tech remix there is”

yeah just play every van she tech remix there is

i met with laura at the nomad to pick up
i used to see her all the time back when i still was
sleeping on the floor of that one law office
they had a window i could reach and they never locked it

she bounded up and she kissed me on the cheek
slipped it into my pocket real real sleek
an Eddie Bauer that i think came from the store
at the mall of america on the second floor

someone asked me “how can you even afford this, girl?
you’ve been broke since before you attained consciousness”
i said “it’s not about having the money for it,
it’s about not having any other reason to live

…but to play every van she tech remix there is!
one after the other! one after the other!
every van she tech remix there is”

even after all of that we didn’t even do any of it
there was nothing going on there never is
