lyrics

Covered in Grit
Words by Ethan Taylor Sellers
Music by Ethan Taylor Sellers and Emily Albright

We slide astride the city streets
At sloth-like southern paces
Skin absorbs the summer sun
In melted candle faces
Heated asphalt addles our brains
South Side sewers never quite drain
Six days ‘til the trash truck comes
And a brand-new stank replaces.

Sun beats down on your head
And sweat begins to pour
You'd take a shower to wash it off
But you'd only sweat some more
Break into sweat if you sit
Airborne gravy covers you in grit
The only way to get relief's
To swim at the Lake Shore

The humid heat bounced off the street
When you walk out the door
Your sweaty grip begins to slip
Your aggravated pores
Covered in Grit
Covered in Grit

The highways are a parking lot
They've shut off all the streets
Drivers stew and honk their horns
Their cars will overheat
An hour and a half forever lost
Just sitting there sucking on exhaust
You change your lane to move along
But it ends in fifty feet

Tempers flare in heated air
The traffic moves like snails
The gasket blows the coolant flows
Your air conditioner fails
Covered in Grit
Covered in Grit
