once a week

i make the drive

two hours east

to check the

austin post office box

and i take the detour

through our old neighborhood

see all the

chevy impallas

in their front yard up on bolcks

and i park

in a alley

and i read through the postcards you

continue to send

where as indirectly as you can

you ask what i remember

i like these tourture devices

from my old best friend

well i'll tell you what i know

like i swore i always would

i don't think it's going to do you

any good

i remember

the train headed south outta bangkok

down toward

the water

i always get a late start

when the suns going down

and the traffic's thinning out

and the glare is hard to take

i wish the west texas highway

was a mobius strip

i could ride it out forever

when i feel my heart break

i almost swear I hear it happen

is the clear and that hard

i come in off the highway

and i park in my front yard

i fall out of the car

like a hostage from a plane

think of you a while

start wishing it would rain

and i remember

the train headed south outta bangkok

down toward

the water

i come into the house

put on a pot of coffee

walk the floors a little while

i set your post card on the table

with all the others like it

i start sorting through the pile

i check the the pictcure

and the postmarks

and the captions and the stamps

for signs of any patern at all

when i come up empty handed

the feeling almost overwhelms me

i let a few of my

defenses fall

and i smile a bitter smile

not a pretty thing to see

think about a raileroad platform

back in nineteen eighty three

and i remember

the train headed south outa bangkok

down

down toward

the water

"when i feel my heart breaki almost swear I hear it happenis the clear and that hardi come in off the highwayand i park in my front yardi fall out of the carlike a hostage from a planethink of you a whilestart wishing it would rain"-------Definitely some of the most vivid and real lyrics ever, every time I hear that part I totally feel it and just really a perfect description of that feeling of a broken heart, and still somehow always makes me smile and feel hopeful. And yea I totally just now got that most of this song is referring to Jeff and Cyrus :).... guess that should have been obvious.

the part about looking thru postcards looking for patterns sounds like near the end of Lolita.

i've cried to/about this song more times than i can count. the same thing that happened to jeff (sent to the place where they told him he'd never be famous) happened to me, and i listened to AHWTX every day towards the tail end of that journey, when they finally let me have CDs. it was the only CD i had, and it saved my life. this song gave (still gives) me a lot of hope. if blessings are real, the existence of tMG is one.

As much as I love John D's studio albums...I first fell in love with his music in the 90's with all of that tape recorder hiss...and it remains my favorite period of his.

I love how the sound quality isn't quite perfect on this track as if he recorded it with an ancient tape recorder or sang through a pipe, it just sounds really good.

I adore this song and album. John's last brilliant lo-fi masterpiece.

I know it's tragic. They were the best death metal band ever
