lyrics

Any day in Clackamas, a junkie enters the bike path from another dimension
Just dodging a buzzing swarm of flying road bikes through benign intervention
Likewise, the peleton faces a narrow escape at the very next crossing
Some asshole in an Escalade runs the light, but the cyclists swerve just in time
To remain alive,
Just scraping by

C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
Hey, are you doing Okay? Más o menos
Are you okay? ¿Estás bien?
Más o menos
C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
It’s hard to tell some days, más o menos
Are we okay? ¿Estamos bien?
Más o menos

Best to stay behind steel and glass, these roads and paths are no place for frail human bodies
Concrete cascades through the trees, wraps the fields and the hillsides in motorized moats
Spending all day in a cubicle, spending all day in the strip mall making food slop for strangers,
Gazing so longingly across the freeway
At beautiful mountains,
Close, as the crow flies into the windshield

C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
Hey, are you doing Okay? Más o menos
Are you okay? ¿Estás bien?
Más o menos
C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
It’s hard to tell some days, más o menos
Are we okay? ¿Estamos bien?
Más o menos

So we'll take what we can get
Lower expectations till they're met
Subsistence levels of joy and human contact

C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
Hey, are you doing Okay? Más o menos
Are you okay? ¿Estás bien?
Más o menos
C-L-A-C-K-A… más o menos
It’s hard to tell some days, más o menos
Are we okay? ¿Estamos bien?
Más o menos
