about

Originally appeared on the “Trials and Tribulations” 7” from 1995 on City of Romance Records.

lyrics

Trials and tribulations,
reduced to a grain of salt.
Pushed through.
And it’s pushed through open wounds to form a magnificent altar.
Isn’t that beautiful?
The thrills of a race car driver,
always coming in last, always running out.
Don’t turn around now because you’ve gone too far.
Trials and tribulations for the scars,
bitter scars.
Take the corner out it up watch it fly,
watch it fly.
I have seen it coming down the tracks
One more bump and I swear to god I’ll fall right out of this.
One more chance,
I’ll get it .
Don’t turn around now because you’ve gone too far.
