Topolina (voice & lyrics by G.W. Sok)

Oh no, we’re on the road, and it feels fine
even though we all know it’s only a matter of time

Somewhere in the mire
we’ll blow a tire
don’t mention the engine
it gives us the shakes
but yes and amen, you’re part of this van,
fasten your seatbelts, you know what it takes:
brakes!

You’ve set the scene huh
while we wait for what, a
deus ex machina?

Says the co-driver dummy
to the frontseat mummy
who was distracted by some remains of fries
that keep messing with his tummy

This van, too, is kind of crummy…
and it’s creaky… occasionally freaky
its gas, oil and water unluckily leaky

And on the side of this road
we know that we oh so very much owe
this four wheeled squeeze
this playing-hard-to-please
once more one more very last chance
to rearrange its accidental derailed dance…
put it back on its feet, so to speak,
and so

Where can we find a kind woman or man
who can stick to a plan and then fix this van
someone who can make a mix
of a bag of tricks and two right hands…
someone who understands what is at stake:
give us a break

These ramshackle drives
mean the time of our lives
did we take a wrong turn?
where’s the asphalt to burn?
are we parked in a ditch?
just an itch, an unglamorous glitch,
take five
life is a ditch and then we’ll drive

Those tickets for speeding
are just what we need and
we will be fine, we can take it
as long as we can make it
to the next gig in time

No matter how scrappy the van
no matter how crappy the plan
show us the gig and we’ll do it again
we stick to the plan and we stick to the van:
amen

To po li naaaaaa
