letra de short fuse (sometimes no fuse at all) - sarah herrera

i was born in new york city
i’m a new yorker through and through
when i die, i’ll be buried in nyc
well, i don’t want to be buried
i want to be blown up
but you get my meaning

this one time
a friend and i were on this little sh-tsplat parkway
linking manchester and london, kentucky
remote mountains of appalachia
trailer meth labs and double barreled shotguns
trust me, this ain’t the bronx
well, maybe co-op city

and there’s a tollbooth halfway through
so i pull up to pay my 40 cents
only there’s a lady in a car ahead of me
and she’s handing over a nickel
and now a dime … no, wait, that’s a b-tton
let me see if i have a dime

after 20 seconds, i’m laying on the h-rn
the lady continues to apply euclidian theorem
to her selection of currency
she thinks she has another nickel
oh, that’s a cough drop
may i have it back please, dear?
guitar solo!

after 45 seconds, i have the window down
and i’m yelling such delightful phrases like
will you hurry the f-ck up already, jesus christ
and i’ll pay for both of us
will you just get your motherf-cking ford focus
out of my one and only path

my friend was looking at me
as if i had sprouted a second head
and not a good-looking head
but one of those genetic afterbirth things

it was then that i realized
that perhaps the way i drive is geography-specific
new jersey drivers, pennsylvania drivers and massachusetts drivers
all have their own distinct style of operational f-ckery
i used to keep a handful of pennies
that i bent in half with a pair of pliers in the ashtray
in case anyone cut me off

all i have to do is pull alongside him and wham!
hope you have touchup paint!
i yell at people. i slam on my brakes
i follow people who need some justice
there’s a million things you can do
try putting an m-80 into the tailpipe of a parked car
push it into the m-ffler with a coat hanger
car heats up, about 15 minutes later
the metal is hot enough to light the fuse
and boom!
i guess i’d feel bad if they swerved into a busload of kids, but these things happen

i love new york
i love new york
i love new york
