Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Bakersfield" von Daniel Amos handelt von einer Person, die sich entscheidet, nicht mehr nach Bakersfield z...

I won't go back to Bakersfield
My friend died there, I loved him too much
Incompetence, tubes and wires
Indifference, fools and liars
Aggravate, regulate, resuscitate
Auffocated him

While Scully danced over the airwaves
Scully danced over the airwaves

I won't go back to Bakersfield
My friend died there, I loved him to much
Wrinkled young men are shuffling along like
Dirty grey ghosts wearing fitteld soiled sheets
On a wt mirage street
Looking for green gangrenous feet
That will lead them to liquor stores
Or unemployment offices

In the morning they gurgle out of
Spoiled rancid visions and cabbage pods
They have one mission only
Because their kink are lonely
Cross the border, take us over, make us over
Rake us over the coals

While Scully surfs over the heatwaves
Scully skips over the new graves

Crusty skinned phantoms
Pocked-marked and drifting
Like the shifting pallid sand here
Beneath their tendrils
These down payment dreamers
Of small flat-roofed
Houses
And harsh vacant lots full of milkweed
And dust
Stinkbugs and rust
Animal excrement
And murder evidence

They built an air conditioned mall there
Against sand paper winds blowing out of the west
Famous for their coffe and mudpie
Flamingos pink, and pinkeye
Merle Haggard, corn dog batter, shoots amd ladders
All in tatters now

While Scully hangs over the freeways
Scully's ignoring the new age

I won't go back to Bakersfield
My friend died there, I loved him too much
See the nomads wandering in the desert moonlight
The Chosen Ones moving like
Great ancient turtles
They're going in circles
With their holy referrals
Eating manna from Wendy's
And God is with them

But I won't be there
God is with them
But I won't be there
Though it's the same as any other place
There's too much smog around my face
And I won't cry there
No I won't die there

While Scully danced over the airwaves...
