Basset Hound Blues Lyrics by Nick Lutsko

Heart of Mold

2013

[Verse 1]
Well I was staring at the ceiling
And as the day was disappearing
When suddenly my roof when snoopin' in the moon and I bombed down in the clearing
But instead of asking questions, I was under the impression within moments I’d be dead but then my words woke up and said there ain't no polar bears in Texas

[Chorus]
Well baby's in the bathtub but the water’s turning brown and it's riding through the desert on the backs of basset hounds
There's a title wave in Kansas but the news won't make a sound causе the devils on the freeway and your granny's not around

[Verse 2]
Right whеre I was stationed, apocalyptic jubilation [?] people raise a glass through the prospect of a blast to a permanent vacation
I pretended not to notice, the fact that everybody knows it
Your mind is like a safe from the cradle to the grave it doesn't work unless close it
Your commodities are safe unless you live your life afraid it doesn't work if you don't close it

[Chorus]
Well baby’s in the bathtub but the water’s turning brown and it's riding through the desert on the backs of basset hounds
There’s a title wave in Kansas but the news won't make a sound cause the devils on the freeway and your granny's not around
