Smog Picture
Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

Short Drive Lyrics

Smog

I took your party invitation list
And wrote 'enemies' across the top of it
Then I asked you
To go on a short drive with me
So I could point out
Some more of our enemies
Drive with me
Scowl with me
I put my hand on your knee
And say to your left you will see
Some more of our enemies
I dragged you half across the United States
I drove for 24 hours straight
I would not stop to let you pee
On a single bumblebee
Drive with me
Scowl with me
I put my hand on your knee
And say to your left you will see
Some more of our enemies
And 'though this that seems ongoing
Ever flowing
Will one day when we look back
Just be a short drive
Made back in our endless lives
