  • Lyrics:
    Recovering slowly, a torso fell
    From a beat up truck by a rural motel.
    The manager seen how the truck bed bounced
    While dust flew up with a rolling sound.
    Voices appear from the staff outside
    In bulbous text in a western style
    His mannequin neck spun to turn his face
    The bars spills drunks out frame by frame
    Girls pushed girls side to side
    To hear a suction sound as limbs relign
    The crowd just seemed to multiply
    They hear his plastic jaw as the news drops hard:
    "Your retro career melted"
    They couldn't have agreed with the manniquin less
    They didn't understand what the manniquin meant
    The sound of a barrelled gun held to the back
    Some plastic clicks as the shell parts pass.
    Fleshtone shards fly by wild
    They fill a plastic bag with the parts inside
    The bag got dumped, a town nearby
    They reassembled fast as his voice dropped hard:
    "Your retro career melted"

    Funny story! I first heard this song when I was 8 years old… my Aunt had this CD…. She played it ONCE… and I remembered this song 15 years later and asked her the name….. I’ve probably played this song 100 times! 😅

    you just telephoned a copy/fax machine and products are flying off the shelves now that barcodes and scanners are in use, the year is someplace late seventies and the punk scene just kicked up in your area but disco isn't dead and so far working at dad's hardware store hasn't been all bad, so you figure "fuck it i'm gonna go to this ska show"
