BERMUDA TRIANGLE tells the story of a friend of mine, a girl, who, after a fight with an almost-but-not-quite boyfriend in a corner bar, was left out in the cold. she called me to come pick her up n drive her home. 'i'm in a fking bermuda triangle' she said. he'd driven up, pretended to not see her + took off.
lyrics
the bermuda triangle
i was in a fight, a dirty fight
a miss understanding, in the heat of the night
i thought he liked me, but i had it wrong
he said i was weak, when i shoulda been strong
i was drowning in a bermuda triangle
made of cement + weeds + grass
+ there's a rubber there + it was wet
next to a cigarette, it touched my shoe
+ the wind tore my dress
+ th bugs licked my skin
+ a car pulled up t th light
if i had a gun i woulda done it right
see the driver in that car
was th muthafkr who messed me up
+ he was starin straight ahead
like i was invisible, as good as dead
LOOK AT ME, YOU FILTHY BASTARD, LOOK AT ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT
he hit the gas n drove straight thru
that big ol' light, real innocent n cool
+ it was sad, it was pathetic
+ my heart turned black n blue
LOOK AT ME, YOU FILTHY BASTARD, YOU PIECE OF SHIT
