Slick as Snails Lyrics by Robert Pollard

Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department

1999

Be drawn to what’s wrong
And believe everyone
Go ahead, touch your nose
And off you go, up and run
And now comes yet another, the next dose of real freedom
I guess the wait is over, you sat here long enough
Your personal triumph is coming up
Piss away again, throwing caution to the wind
Telling lies to friends
Be strong in your aim
Map your course, and set sail
But know well, life is quick
And very slick, slick as snails
I contemplate an ocean, at rest or still in motion?
Of testimonial quest, gorilla of your dreams
And speedy exit schemes in "Quips for Queens"
The imprint where you sat, dig the ripples caused by that
I can ride them out
I contemplate an ocean, at rest or still in motion?
A testimonial quest, gorilla of your dreams
And speedy exit schemes in "Quips for Queens"
The imprint where you sat, dig the ripples caused by that
I can ride them out
Out into a sea where the others cannot be
You keep sliding out
Crafted, launched and steered, out where all systems are cleared
You’ll be hiding out
