While We Sleep
Job Prylan

You know those old talkin’ blues songs Dylan and Woody Guthrie used to do? Like this. Well they’re rad. I found one I tried to write up in Byron Bay when I got dad’s van to drive down to tassie. if you’ve seen the van I guess you’ll know it runs pretty true.

Well i came up to Byron to see me dad
He’s pretty rad
Ain’t half bad
Probably the best dad i’ve ever had
Well he’s a nice man
Gave me a van
Says drive it own to Tassie if you can
Well, i asked him how she runs
He said like the morning after Mexican
Pretty hot
I asked him to fix the radiator
He said maybe later
He’s a great procrastinator
The vans a professional rustenator
I said anything else wrong with the mutt?
He said the break cables are cut
And all the doors are welded shut
You can get in tho
Through the window
She’s covered in rust
Bout as pretty as your mums face
She runs at a solid pace
Bout 15k maximum, so you don’t need breaks
It’s a three seater, no heater
