Alaska by The Voluptuous Horror Of Karen Black Lyrics
"Hey, where ya going?"
Well I'm going to Alaska
"Alaska? Well what are you going there for?"
Yeah, well I saw a picture of it once
And Alaska looked all white and snowy
I heard it was cleaner there
"Cleaner? Cleaner than what?"
Well pretty soon, y'know
Everybody will be wanting to go there
And it will not be so clean anymore
In fact, I just don't wanna talk about this anymore
Going to Alaska
I'm going to Alaska
(x4)
You know, I'm getting tired
Of peoples' homes so filled with dirt and dust
You just couldn't imagine
There's dust all over the glass and beers
Someone dust up, I can't even see myself
What I think we should do, every day
Then perhaps once a week
Is a cockroach thing, y'know
Where we cover the houses
I'm just getting so tired of seeing those
Creepy little bugs crawling all over your house
I just don't wanna talk about it anymore
Going to Alaska
I'm going to Alaska
(x4)
You know, I've been inside so many
Brightly-lit stores filled with so much crap
I just can't believe it
What I think we should do is
Dig a big hole in the ground
And throw all that crap in there and burn it
I'm just getting so disgusted
Walking into all those brightly-lit stores
And seeing all that junk
I just don't wanna talk about this anymore
Going to Alaska
I'm going to Alaska
(x4)
You know, I even heard of the kind
Of gasoline that they can make with water
They make with that stuff...you know
What's that stuff called again
Yeah, steam, steam
That's it
But you know something
It does not even cost any money
So that they will not even use it
I'm just getting so terribly frustrated
Walking outside and
Smelling all that filthy air
I'm packing my bags
I'm goin' away
That's right, I'm leaving this awful place
But you know something
I just don't wanna talk about it anymore
Going to Alaska
I'm going to Alaska
(x4)
Well I'm going to Alaska
"Alaska? Well what are you going there for?"
Yeah, well I saw a picture of it once
And Alaska looked all white and snowy
I heard it was cleaner there
"Cleaner? Cleaner than what?"
Well pretty soon, y'know
Everybody will be wanting to go there
And it will not be so clean anymore
In fact, I just don't wanna talk about this anymore
Going to Alaska
I'm going to Alaska
(x4)
You know, I'm getting tired
Of peoples' homes so filled with dirt and dust
You just couldn't imagine
There's dust all over the glass and beers
Someone dust up, I can't even see myself
What I think we should do, every day
Then perhaps once a week
Is a cockroach thing, y'know
Where we cover the houses
I'm just getting so tired of seeing those
Creepy little bugs crawling all over your house
I just don't wanna talk about it anymore
