At The Drive-In - Paid Vacation Time

The 7th track off of At The Drive-Ins debut album, Acrobatic Tenement, released in 1996.

so we see the opportunities
stitch and thread
with no down payments
our neighbors see it through their
own eyes so that the others hear
the story, the grapevine
dot your i's, cross your t's
this forfeitures the burden of another

and all those friends you thought you had
are laughing at and not with you
and all those friends you thought you knew
you'd trade it all for a tank full of fuel

bel aire colonial deluxe number five
all the warmth that a boy can give
sheepskin costume
i'm a truant officer

[Janetx]

I think the reason this song is very good bacause they incorporate their Experimental Math Rock riffs.

@1984mastadon I think the sheep skinned costume is referring to the saying "wolf is sheep's clothing" that he isn't completley innocent
