Impenetrable

Written by：Graham Thomas Parker

Am

I'm in a trailer with some white trash

They're drinking beer and smoking grass

There's a dumb chick with peroxide hair

She's got axl rose tattooed on her ass

They're holding me up like a trophy in a hall

Like a deer skin or a bear's head they bought from the mall

I act like I'm with them but I'm behind a wall

Behind a wall in the darkness

Impenetrable I can't get inside of it no

Impenetrable I can't

Impenetrable

I wake up in a foreign bed

The hotel is empty the porters are dead

The maids are diseased but the manager said

I'll buy you a drink in the bar pal

Because you're our last customer you're our last hope

The city's deserted the government's broke

I act like I'm with him but I'm ready to bolt

Out through the door into the darkness

Impenetrable I can't get inside of it no

Impenetrable I can't

Impenetrable

Out in the darkness the new year's crowd howl

It's the same celebration for 20 years now

I found myself there once alone in a crowd

And the rules haven't changed for a minute

They're hoisting an effigy up on a pole

It's someone I remember it's someone I know

I can't place the face but when the gasoline flows

I feel the flames lick round my ankles

Impenetrable I can't get inside of it no

Impenetrable I can't

Impenetrable

I can't get inside of it no

Impenetrable

I can't
