Corolla Hoist
( sung by dave )

she is so undressed
can't right herself
freed like severed limbs

sun becomes a ball of rust
scrap heap ceiling gone
no drum megaphone
shout, scream, my windshield down
deep in Georgia mud
I hear her scream

and I wheel like a cyclone
taste my diesel fumes, don't you doze
and  I see that inside
when I'm casting my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow
when I cast her my shadow

Tonight, so possessed
the sucker sounds so distressed
cause were living in the 30's, Jack
candy M's ain't coming back
scrap heap ceiling blown
no drum megaphone
shout, scream, my windshield down
deep in Georgia mud
I hear her scream

and I wheel like a cyclone
taste my diesel fumes, don't you know
and I see that inside
when I cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow
cast her my shadow

Thumbnail Sketch
(sung by dave )

Climb up the stairs
to the dresser
open the drawer
look in the mirror

Run to the window,
bird on a wire
sundays silent
house is

And the bird don't
the bird dont sing
yeah the bird dont
the bird dont sing.

I'm all by myself again
theres noone
the silence

and the bird don't
the bird don't sing

this one is probably my absolute favorite Grifters song.  It was a cold, dark day when the cassette I had it and all my other Grifters wax on, was eaten by my car radio after about the billionth listen.
