Copper Regret

by Horace Pinker

1.
drive down that dead end street it's where we used to live no revelation there railroad tracks at the cul de sac the shopping carts and the furniture barricades never did derail that train twisted metal and the broken frames so were we thankful that it never happened here or did we wait for that disaster drinking beer on the sofa on the rooftop of the upside down it's all upside down it's all do you wish for tragedy just to see it happen here or do you smile in a sigh of relief when your friend wakes up in a hospital room no time for remorse now it's all been broken down a penny saved they call a penny earned and we never learned that lesson there that year leaving pennies on the railroad tracks as a flattened copper regret upside down it's all upside down it's all driving down that dead end street it's where we used to live

do you feel burned by those words now well what did you expect? the progress of this world your logic circumspect yet what you read goes up in flames i see you yearn for better times can't empathize you can't see see it through their eyes you can't empathize see it through their eyes you can't this type twist those words now through the knowledge that you learn it's never clear that prior views color all things you do you speak it sounds familiar now well it's no wonder how they never burn simplistic terms you understand it keeps your footing firm you're grounded in cynicism never wears thin see it through their eyes you can't empathize see it through their eyes you can't

Trajectory 03:29
don't we have to look back now to someone else live up to wish that scar would heal somehow covered over a thousand times moved on from those left behind but there's always someone to pick up where you left has that path been taken one too many times maybe you'll cross mine and i'll smile knowing that you got the last one on us this time don't we have to look back now ripped off a thousand places with a smile on your face and we were right behind you waiting for the payoff

when i looked across the ice cold and glassy skipped a stone so many times to break the surface never reached the other side found rounded rocks on the shore line this is my last time to ask you now justify your actions out of time answer to your question wrong this time i watched the water stand still cold and glassy wintertime skipped a stone across the ice just scratched the surface it seemed to reach the other side lost in winter white i find this is your last time so ask me now justify your actions out of time answer to your question wrong this time you thought you found the answer you're wrong this time i'm not who you wish that i would be you're not who i wish that you would be

i laughed with him no tears in his eyes always wore a grin was a nice disguise he looked like any other and these hands won't ever cover can't see inside he looked like any other never did realize but i heard those fists they did fly do we ever know myopic vision has transformed this show into a carnival nostalgia for this task bury your memory with the dirt on these hands i laughed with him he snapped like that did he hurt his friends golden silence grins he looked like any other of our friends and i hear it's typical these days do we ever know myopic vision has transformed this show into a carnival nostalgia for this task bury your memory at last

about

I think this record takes Pop Culture Failure up to the next level. Written and recorded in about 2 weeks, it turned out to be the best thing we have ever done and it was our first recording with the new line-up. This is a great preview of the new record to come...which we will be recording summer 2002.
