Salt Lake City 1973 - Shawn Mullins[00:00:00]

Mormon's are everwhere[00:00:13]

Battalions of bicycling bachelors[00:00:14]

With dark suits[00:00:16]

And well cropped hair[00:00:17]

We're mormons too[00:00:18]

Have been since '72[00:00:18]

I'm riding between my brother and sister[00:00:20]

In the back seat of a '67 buick station wagon[00:00:22]

With red vinyl seats[00:00:24]

We stick by each other[00:00:25]

And to those seats[00:00:27]

We've been eating cheese and bacon sandwiches[00:00:28]

Our mother made for thirteen days straight in the august heat[00:00:30]

And both my siblings are wakin' on those eggshells[00:00:35]

As i will soon learn how to do myself[00:00:36]

They play their quiet silly games[00:00:38]

With their peashooters[00:00:40]

As i sip luke-warm sprite from a tin can[00:00:41]

Sold to me by a hunchback silly bastard old woman[00:00:43]

A hundred miles back[00:00:44]

Who is probably the only person with good sense[00:00:47]

In this part of the country[00:00:49]

I still don't know what to do god-awful bacon and cheese sandwich[00:00:50]

But your body is your temple[00:00:53]

God tells us so [00:00:55]

So drink up your milk[00:00:56]

And reap what you sow[00:00:57]

I mold the cheese and bacon sandwich into a ball in my hand[00:00:58]

It kind of reminds me of play-dough[00:01:00]

I look around to see who is watchin'[00:01:02]

And stuff it between the red vinyl seats[00:01:04]

No one will find it[00:01:06]

At least not for a couple of weeks[00:01:07]

We're in this big place now[00:01:09]

It's kind of like 1/2 of an blue plastic easter egg shell[00:01:11]

And there's a hole in the top[00:01:13]

Where the sun cuts through[00:01:15]

And lights up the room[00:01:17]

And i hear all these male voices[00:01:18]

Telling me that black people are inferior[00:01:19]

And it's ok to have more than one wife[00:01:20]

And as the dry dry breath of the utah sun warms me[00:01:23]

I stand before a statue of jesus that is far too big[00:01:26]

And has held these folks hostage for so so long[00:01:30]

And i gaze up at the nostrils of the sandstone savior[00:01:32]

And wonder if it[00:01:36]

Can smell all this bullshit[00:01:37]

Cause i sure can[00:01:39]

And i'm only 5 years old[00:01:41]

In salt lake city[00:01:42]

In 1973[00:01:43]
