เพลง N Dakota

N Dakota - Parquet Courts

Train death paintings,

anti-meth murals

Color the ghettos of N. Dakota.

Bismark tractor association,

coffee and toothpaste.

This was vacation...

I saw, while squinting,

the hidden layer

In those lost-era grain elevators.

Feudal beginnings,

amber wave looseness,

Post-Nordic grinning

tired and toothless.

Cigarette advertisement country,

Wild and perfect,

but lacking something.

In Manitoba they

called it boring,

At night we hum to

Canada's snoring.

Westbound taken,

exiled Texan

From a former Dutch

trade encampment.

Former slave quarters

tucked by the alley.

Serf population too high to tally.
