lyrics

Drifted south into petty crime, despatches home from time to time
Rotten teeth, eyesight failing fast, who knows how long this life will last
Bouncing back between pain and sleep
Sucks on a bottle but there’s no relief
Stuck on the wall, a dead pop star smiles
Got lame for fame, crippled by style

Scum mixed with foam, won’t you turn it into a poem
Where the buffalo roam, where the buffalo roam

She married young, got disillusioned quick
And now the nights are torture and the days are sick
Three months gone and filled with dread
She dreams of death and a river bed
Inside a stranger drains her strength
And a calcium leech shortens her length
The water's steaming and the razor’s sharp
She's a pregnant angel with a broken harp

Scum mixed with foam, won’t you turn it into a poem
Where the buffalo roam, where the buffalo roam

They hung on to some shred of pride
When the other emotions shriveled and died
Walking through a crowd asleep
To a shadow that smells of dirty feet

Their world just fell through a hole in a bag
A cold sun shines through a piece of rag
A siren wails and sends a shiver of fear
Now they can’t afford what they hold dear

Scum mixed with foam, won’t you turn it into a poem
Where the buffalo roam, where the buffalo roam
