abandonment issues, the album

marty willson-king jr said
i had a riff...
i was in africa
where it began
in africcccacccaaa
but at some point it seemed a bit south america
as part of a small group tour
but hopefully without jimmy barnestorming
in a small town bang in the middle of nowhere
i was sleeping in a room
wake up all and the group had gone
lock, stock and snatch
bags and all
where to ?
i wondered, not yet perturbed
beavis had joined us for a couple of weeks
but he was nowhere to be seen either
he had disappeared the day before
but i only knew is now
go out to shop office
in rising panic i head to the office
nobody had left any information for me
theres a car out the front, red and small
no bags in it
but there kind of should be some
back inside the shop
talking bad spanish to the shopkeeper/hotel lady
one of the girls comes in
with dyed blonde hair
i ask her what has gone on?
she mumbles some platitudes
didnt like me hanging out withe beavis
snoring
some oher stuff
then scarpers, slowly but still too quick for me
i follow as best i can
around the back she boards a luxury yacht
with all the other guys
and they set sail
leaving me standing breathless
dismayed and sbigotitto
some wave goodbye
some looking regretful
there are others in the boat
they look on at me with indifference
i have no idea if they will come back
its a big, big lake
it could be the mouth of a river
back inside i am desperately asking chick for info
she is vague, doesnt know anything
or doesnt want to know anything
my bad spanish and panic make it impossible to decifer
i am completely lost
no maps, guide books or friends
i wanted to go the high mountains of tanzania
NOT THE UKRAINAN ONES!!!
BLOODY CROSSED WIRES!~!!
i truly dont know what to do
the lady disappears off to shower
i wander around the office looking at maps atlases
all of australia, bridges and outback!
maybe vietnam
australia on world map keep crashing into other countires
so utterly confused and alone
what did i do?
