Doin’ It Over Again
It would be quiet
if it weren’t for the highway
A blood vein’s the same as this ribbon of tar
Now I’m just a person
(who’s been/that’s been) traveling upon it
By busses and big rigs and RV’s and cars
I’m down in the/this/that valley
of creosote death
and it keeps getting deeper
as the mountains fall in
and wind rushes through it
just like waves in/through a tide pool
and I’m just a mollusk
that’s feeding on moondust and time
The spots on my skin
All begin to spin
I don’t know where i’m going
don’t know where i’ve been
‘cept onward and over and on past the bend
I’m doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again
aeroplane flies by
I can hear the world rumble
butterfly make my eyes
start to see double
cuz if I stayed home
I would never see trouble
they’d just dig me a grave
and then wait for the day that I die
the spots on my skin
(all) begin to spin
I don’t know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’ve been
‘cept onward and over and on past the bend
I’m doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again
doing it over and over again

i just went out to get another log for the fire and thought i heard the wind whisping but it was only the stream out back.

and wind rushes through it just like waves in a tide pool

On 11/7/04, Trevor announces the song saying that he wrote it in Death Valley. Awesome place to go with these words.
