Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got a job, I explore
I follow every little whiff
And I want my life to smell like this
To find a place, an ancient race
The kind you like to gamble with
Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit
[Verse 2]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey
[Verse 3]
Wayward, ho, away we go
To shame to leave this masterpiece
With it's gallery gods and its garbage bag trees
Paint a scene, from memory
So I'd know who murdered me
It's a vain pursuit, but it helps me to sleep
[Verse 4]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey
[Verse 5]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey, hey
[Verse 6]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey
[Verse 7]
Jacques Cartier, right this way
I'll put your coat up on the bed
Hey, man, you've got a real bum's eye for clothes
And come on in, sit right down
Now, you're not the first to show
We've all been here since, God, who knows?
[Verse 8]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey
[Verse 9]
Looking for a place to happen
Making stops along the way, hey
[Verse 10]
Jacques Cartier, right this way
I'll put your coat up on the bed
Hmm, you've got a real bum's eye for clothes
Come on in, sit right down
