red tide

• neko case'in 2008 yılında çıkan middle cyclone albümünde yer alan şarkılardan birisi.
  
  there's a smell here that stands my hairs on end
  dog hair in the heater,
  gas pumps and cedar
  and jack knives on the 9
  and sea birds choked in fishing line
  
  the clouds say hush but the chainsaws mush on
  through cluster and columbia
  salty tentacles shrink in the sun but the red tide is over
  the mollusks they have won
  
  there's a smell here of gravel and cigarettes lit
  when the match made them sweet
  when the engine turned over and beat up our street
  oh, that was a day to remember
  
  i remember because of the fires that left
  from the caves of the things that have not happened yet
  when i think of them now they smell to me quite sinister
  
  i want to go back an die at the drive-in
  die before strangers can say
  "i hate the rain"
  "i hate the rain"
