Lyrics 666 Post - Mark Kozelek
I
wake
up
half
the
time,
I
don′t
know
where
I
am
For
five
minutes
I
think
"What
country?
What
city?
What
hotel
am
I
in?"
For
five
minutes
I
think
"Is
that
a
wild
animal
scratching
around
next
to
my
bed?
Is
there
a
large
rat
or
raccoon
or
a
squirrel
that
broke
in?"
I
stumble
around
the
room,
touching
the
walls,
feeling
around
Feeling
around
in
the
dark
and
I
feel
and
I
feel
Until
I
find
the
light
switch
and
I
turn
it
on
I
recognize
my
cat
and
there's
a
beautiful
woman
laying
in
my
bed
It
is
you,
my
head
is
now
clear
Wait
I′m
wrong,
I
thought
it
was
clear
but
I'm
all
alone
There's
a
guitar
and
recording
gear
in
here
Okay,
now
I
realize
I′m
in
a
hotel
room
in
San
Francisco
I
stayed
here
once
with
a
girl
When
she
was
on
tour
in
San
Francisco
long
before
That′s
really
all
I
remember,
this
hotel
Was
that
night
with
her
long
before
My
engineer's
limping
around
because
he
messed
up
his
knee
In
a
mosh
pit
the
night
before
He′s
blaming
it
on
me
because
I
wouldn't
let
him
Come
over
and
watch
the
McGregor
fight
at
my
apartment
"I
already
have
my
girlfriend
over,"
I
told
him
"It′s
the
last
night
together
before
the
Marc
Hopkins
sessions"
The
carpet
is
gold,
the
walls
are
yellow,
and
the
curtains
are
pink
The
carpet
is
gold,
the
walls
are
yellow,
and
the
curtains
are
pink
The
carpet
is
gold,
the
walls
are
yellow,
and
the
curtains
are
pink
The
carpet
is
gold,
the
walls
are
yellow,
and
the
curtains
are
pink
Now
I'm
back
from
Ireland,
I′m
totally
stoned
on
jet
lag
permanently
My
clock
is
different
from
day
to
day
and
will
be
for
the
duration
of
my
life
Lately
I
go
to
bed
at
7 o'clock
in
the
morning,
wake
up
at
about
4 PM
It's
dark
in
New
Orleans
by
5:30
and
I
walk
across
Coliseum
Square
I′ll
get
an
iced
tea
at
Mojo
on
Magazine
and
I
just
sit
there
for
a
bit
And
I
come
back
and
from
my
window,
I
see
the
Pontchartrain
Hotel
The
sign
lit
up
like
it
always
is,
neon
green
And
I
just
finished
the
book
by
John
Connolly,
He
And
I
got
choked
up
at
the
end
Like
I
did
at
the
end
of
his
other
book,
The
Book
of
Lost
Things
At
the
end
when
Stan
Laurel
hears
the
Pacific
Ocean
waves
crashing
In
his
mind,
it
takes
him
to
his
past
with
Oliver
Hardy
and
the
audience
clapping
And
I′m
listening
to
Nels
Cline's
Lovers
I′m
watching
news
about
mudslides
and
snowstorms
in
the
east
coast
And
other
bothers
like
everybody
fingerpointing
Saying
somebody
did
something
wrong
I
don't
like
the
news
anymore
so
I
pick
up
a
remote
and
I
click
it
off
And
I′m
falling
asleep,
and
now
I'm
in
a
dream
state
I′m
back
in
San
Francisco,
walking
around
my
apartment
Is
this
an
earthquake
that
I'm
feeling?
And
my
guitars
are
falling
all
over
the
place
And
my
floors
are
rising
to
the
ceiling
And
as
it's
getting
closer
to
the
ceiling,
my
heart
is
beating
faster
and
faster
I
run
to
the
kitchen,
grab
some
food
and
some
bottled
water
Before
I
exit
my
apartment
fast
I
look
at
the
fruit
bowl
and
there′s
an
unbearably
loud
hum
Coming
from
the
cable
car
tracks
The
oranges
are
yellow,
the
lemons
are
green,
and
the
cable
car
goes
vroom-vroom
The
oranges
are
yellow,
the
lemons
are
green,
and
the
cable
car
goes
vroom-vroom
The
oranges
are
yellow,
the
lemons
are
green,
and
the
cable
car
goes
vroom-vroom
The
oranges
are
yellow,
the
lemons
are
green,
and
the
cable
car
goes
vroom-vroom
In
my
dream,
I
walked
into
the
SPCA
and
somebody
asked
"Mark,
do
you
have
pets?,"
I
said,
"Yes,
I
do"
And
she
says,
"Well,
what
kind
of
pets?"
And
I
said,
"Well,
take
a
guess"
She
guesses
and
she
guesses
and
I
said
"Well
you′re
wrong,
I
have
very
unique
pets"
She
says,
"How
are
they
different?"
I
said,
"Well,
let
me
show
you
a
video
of
them"
And
she
said,
"Okay,
let
me
watch
a
video
of
them"
And
I
show
her
the
video
and
my
pets'
eyes
are
bulged
out
all
frightened
Like
Mia
Farrow′s
eyes
in
Rosemary's
Baby
When
she
was
being
fucked
by
Satan
My
kitty
cat
barks,
my
duck
goes
quack,
and
my
puppy
dog
goes
meow
My
kitty
cat
barks,
my
duck
goes
quack,
and
my
puppy
dog
goes
meow
My
kitty
cat
barks,
my
duck
goes
quack,
and
my
puppy
dog
goes
meow
My
kitty
cat
barks,
my
duck
goes
quack,
and
my
puppy
dog
goes
meow
My
friend
said,
"Mark,
I
know
you′re
leaving
tonight
But
don't
you
have
a
child
to
look
after?"
I
said,
"Yeah,
he′s
a
smart
kid
He
wants
to
grow
up
and
be
an
actor
or
a
movie
director
Steve
Railsback
is
his
favorite
actor
in
the
world,
we
watch
his
movies
together
My
son's
favorite
movies
are
The
Devil's
Rejects,
Ed
Gein,
and
Helter
Skelter"
My
friend
said,
"Well,
who′s
your
babysitter?"
I
said,
"Don′t
worry
about
it,
that's
my
business,
he′s
my
neighbor"
I
said,
"Look,
I
gotta
go,
I
just
called
my
taxi,
my
son's
gonna
be
just
fine
Talk
to
you
later,
alligator"
I
got
a
babysitter
coming,
I
live
at
666
Post,

my
neighbor
is...
