Royal Trux - Map of the City

Great song by Royal Trux.
Map of the City from the album, Thank You.

Lyrics:
She had a face like a cook
I'd seen in the kitchen of the Anchor Hotel
(?) city Virgin
She's friendly and you know her well
A thousand-odd broken stallions
Still very quick on the beat
Full-size the buffet begs before them All you can eat

I'm drawing up a plan for the city
Filled with ten thousand crooked stairs
Some lead up to heaven
Some look through you
Like you're not even there
Could it be that I'll see her
When I cut across the park
Walking along with her hound
When I look at myself in the shower
I wonder if she'll see what I see
And will she like what she has found
I rolled out from under the engine
And I saw her standing there
I knew right then that I could love her forever
Even when her breasts are rotted with cancer

I wonder where she went when she said go
A sailor has to masturbate
Until the ship lands
A lot of things happen out on the open sea
I'm gonna sell Arizona to Japan

I'm drawing up a plan for the city
Filled with ten thousand crooked stairs
Some lead up to heaven
Some look through you
Like you're not even there

This song contains what I consider one of the best guitar solos of all time. I love this album to death.

[turkeysub3000]

check out kowloon walled city 2:13 there needs to be a movie about that place.

[muddack]

so much good talent out there. not much being presented by the music industry. they kinda let some of the DIY sound out. but they never really got it right. Keep on keepin' on Royal Trux!! you represent me, and not many DO!!

[telefonplastic]

the fact that Granny Grunt is not on YouTube (yet) is a big, big shame

[MrTulip65]

So this is where the spirit of The Stones ended up
