[No music - Spoken word] “In the middle of nowhere, it was tribal. We weren’t just partying. We were a Transient Union of Sovereign Kids. We were TUSK.” [Intro Guitar Hook] [Verse 1] Friday night Going down to Tusk Gonna party till my face hits the floor My friends are there to pick me up again Gonna drink just a little bit more [Verse 2] See the spleef doing all the rounds Gonna wait ‘til it comes my way Take a puff then the sun comes up And I realize it’s Saturday [Chorus] At Tusk I feel secure More friends, yeah that’s the cure Of what? Hey, I’m not sure Why I love Tusk I love Tusk I love Tusk [Interlude] Echo’s hummin’, fishnets rippin’, Zima spillin’, punks still sippin’, Spuds on TV, Deadheads driftin’, Bueller preachin’, gears are shiftin’. Cyndi’s painted, socks ain’t stayin’, Velcro flashin’, Rubik’s playin’, New Coke flopped and no one’s buyin’, Cold War’s long and old men lyin’. Don’t blink, kid — the wires are hummin’, Truth in the static and the fallout’s comin’. Feet keep movin’ but the floor won’t stay, Everyone’s wired and the price won’t pay. Motörhead grindin’, denim frayin’, Genny Light’s gone, heartbreak stayin’, Zebra skirt swingin’, Walkman clickin’, Stocks are fallin’, clocks ain’t tickin’. Bon Jovi wails, Marlboro burnin’, Twelve-pack down and no one’s learnin’, Slayer boomin’, wristwatch twitchin’, Mötley howlin’, metal itchin’. Don’t blink, kid — the wires are hummin’, Truth in the static and the fallout’s comin’. Feet keep movin’ but the floor won’t stay, Everyone’s wired and the price won’t pay. [Verse 3] Images thrive In the back of my mind Memories of long lost days The blurry faces In the firelight glow And the freedoms that slipped away [Verse 4] Years have passed, with so many paths Our journeys could write a thousand songs If I could go Back in time again I would be there all night long [Chorus] At Tusk I feel secure Our love, yeah that’s the cure Of what? Now, I am sure Why I love Tusk I love Tusk You love Tusk We love Tusk We are Tusk! [Coda] At Tusk we felt secure (We…are…Tusk) Our love, yeah that’s the cure (We…are…Tusk) Of what? Now, I am sure (We…are…Tusk) Why I love Tusk (We…are…Tusk) I love Tusk (We…are…Tusk) You love Tusk (We…are…Tusk) We love Tusk (We…are…Tusk) WE ARE TUSK!
