Possibly the greatest ode to oral sex ever written, album-closer “Route 69/Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” is ostensibly a send-up to I-69, which runs from the mouth of the Rio Grande on the Gulf Coast up to Detroit, MI, and was likely a major tour route in the earlier years of Bass Drum of Death.
The song deal...
Everyone's proud and we're feeling fine
Gonna stop to eat on Route 69
I don't need you now
All fired up on some girl's face
Gonna find us some place to service our need
I don't need you now
I don't need y'know?
Every night we're on the run
All the way back, "What have I done?"
Let's go for a ride!
Oh... yeah, yeah yeah yeah
All the way down where the windows are gold
We're high as shit so, as you know
I don't need you now
Shades inside because we're all wasted
And they're prolly gonna have to kick us out of the place
I don't need you now
I don't need y'know
Every night we're on our own
All the way back, "What have I done?"
Let's go for a ride!
Every night we're on the run
On the way back, "What have I done?"
Let's go for a ride!
Oh... yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Oh, let's go for a ride!
Bass Drum of Death released Route 69 (Yeah) on Tue Oct 07 2014.
