Vesuvius


Trying to clip the creek to the bank with a clothes pin
Waterlogged system, rusty spring, faulty planning
Logic squeezed out like mustard at a corndog
Hypertension is not wisdom, chewing the leather straps
Trying to hold the sun still with a bobby pin
Burned fingers. excellent conductor of heat
Private fantasies are not public policy
Christian charity is a doily over my death boner
Busy work is not the Great Wall of China
Vanity bamboo hut out back behind the big house
Pretend is salve for whitey-boy guilt
Furiously slapping at the moon with a cane pole
Trying to prop up the heavens with a fresh flat pencil
Some folks are allergic to rubber
I am trying to stitch this one to all the rest of them
But the seams will split, collide and cleave
Neopolitan ice cream is never truly integrated until it's too late
Trying to stop the bleeding with scotch tape
Platelets spoil adhesion, fire up the cauterizing iron
It's a branding of necessity not scarification
Bliss was a pimple that I tried to pop
It erupted up and out on my countenance
Ugly eruption, Vesuvius, ugly eruption, VesuviusUgly eruption, Vesuvius
Vesuvius at myself, Vesuvius at myself

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Vic Chesnutt (1964-2009) was an American singer-songwriter considered one of the most important artists in the indie music scene of the 1990s. Born in Georgia, Chesnutt faced life with extraordinary determination despite being paraplegic due to an accident during his childhood. His music, characterized by introspective lyrics and melancholic folk-rock melodies, explored themes such as pain, loss, hope, and the search for meaning in a world often cruel. Chesnutt collaborated with numerous independent artists, including Neutral Milk Hotel and The Drive-By Truckers. Some of his most representative songs include "About to Walk on", "Flirting with Ghosts" and "The Man Who Loved Beer". His album "West of Rome" (1996) is considered a masterpiece of contemporary American folk.
