When the Blue-Eyed Barbarian came from the West
I said 'how do you raise a kid in a world like this,
'The air suffused with heat and death?
'I'm not drunk I'm just depressed and tired.'
The Blue-Eyed Barbarian came from the West
You got money from your dad that's cool I'm impressed
Then you talk about it like you conquered the West
You could probably fit a little in your ass and set it on fire
And in the end nothing was clear
I try to hold still until even that disappears
It's coming up on the season that I like best
Straighten the back and relax the chest
And watch the wall or watch the breath
Like the Blue-Eyed Barbarian who came from the West
