Red Tide Lyrics - Middle Cyclone - Neko Case

There's a smell here that stands my hairs on end 

Dog hair in the heater, 

Gas pumps and cedar 

And jack knives on the 9 

And sea birds choked in fishing line 

The clouds say hush but the chainsaws mush on 

Through Cluster and Columbia 

Salty tentacles shrink in the sun but the red tide is over 

The mollusks they have won 

There's a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit 

When the match made them sweet 

When the engine turned over and beat up our street 

Oh, that was a day to remember 

I remember because of the fires that left 

From the caves of the things that have not happened yet 

When I think of them now they smell to me quite sinister

I want to go back and die at the drive-in 

Die before strangers can say 

"I hate the rain" 

"I hate the rain."
