Looking For A Place To Happen Lyrics

    I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff
    And I want my life to smell like this
    To find a place, an ancient race
    The kind you'd like to gamble with
    Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit.
    Looking for a place to happen
    making stops along the way

    Wayward ho! Away we go,
    It's a shame to leave this masterpiece
    With it's gallery gods and it's garbage-bag trees
    So I'll paint a scene, from memory,
    so I'd know who murdered me
    It's a vain pursuit, but it helps me to sleep
    Looking for a place to happen
    making stops along the way

    Jacques Cartier, right this way,
    I'll put your coat up on the bed
    Hey man you've got a real bum's eye for clothes
    And come on in, sit right down,
    no you're not the first to show
    We've all been here since, God, who knows?
    Looking for a place to happen,
    making stops along the way.
