Lyrics
The scuff on the vinyl floor looks like Ohio.
The woman ahead of me is holding a tooth in a Kleenex.
The clock on the wall is missing a hand, it’s always half-past August.

Just a carbon copy of the coming weather.
Another signature for the state line ledger.
[Bridge]
Form W-9.
Final notice.
Proof of loss.
Sign on the line by the printed cross.
[Outro]
And the water from the fountain tastes like river mud and rust.
