[Lyric] Personal Quest (The Downstreamers)

The Red Onion hides the sun behind it this Thursday afternoon
As I lie across this park bench and stare deeply through the creases in my hands
A gypsy woman starts to tear apart her soapbox
Leaving me completely stranded. As the world darkens around me, I’m all alone

She said it’s nothing against you, It’s just a personal quest…

The veil came down around me like some kind of ugly bride
All the windows closed and shattered, all my tools grew legs and ran away
And ghosts and witches danced around me as my еnemy emergеd
But before I drew my gun, a reptile with a fruit caressed my ear

He said it’s nothing against you, It’s just a personal quest…

My hair stood straight like a Christian man as I tread this dark and dreary path
I came across a steaming pond, I saw some fish and a reflection of a girl
It was washed away by a cross-dressing bison herd
And while they applied their lipstick, I screamed, “Why o why would you trick me in this way?!”

They said it’s nothing against you, It’s just a personal quest…
So the gypsy and the devil and the busty buffalo collide
And the crossroads where they met fell directly on a spiderweb
The sun came up at dawn to help and harden the sticky glue
The gypsy cried, the trickster died, Satan asked, “How could this clever man prevail?!”

I said it’s nothing against you, It’s just a personal quest…
