Blood Capsules

[Intro]

Whooo!

John Darnielle coming to you live from the main room here at Overdub playing --Peter Hughes, Brandon Eggleston, and the blood capsules. One, two, three, and...

[Verse 1]

When the last of the East Coast money ran dry

And the casually-dressed bill collectors

Started casually dropping on by

And the residuals, but there weren't any more residuals

And me several months behind

On the payments to certain individuals

[Chorus]

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules

[Verse 2]

I'm off the juice for seven months

I learn to like living clean

But there just isn't any money

On the independent scene

Not even if you're cutting corners

Staying in nights, eating alone

Somebody's gotta pay the gas bill

It's not gonna go away on its own

[Chorus]

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules

[Verse 3]

I'm the biggest guy in the bank line

Everybody else looks tiny

I could almost smell the fear

On the lunch-hour car salesman behind me

I know this isn't gonna work

I guess I'll see ya when I see ya

I can't work any other jobs

This was my last and best idea

[Chorus]

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules

I strolled into the lobby

Mouth full

Blood capsules
