Songtext Inertia is a bitch Driftless Pony Club

Inertia is a bitch

I kicked her in the face
with heaven splitting violence
packed like cigarettes it was just an accident
I hurt her once before
but that took place a year or more
this was in a vehicle, weathered and dependable.

I kicked her in the face
the driver braked with sudden haste
Inertia is a bitch
which turned my foot into a fist
this girl could take a punch
tougher than the always was
She rubbed her face
then shrugged it off and held in place.
These hands
That stuck to the plan
That stupid plan
Like a swerving van
A conversion van
With no seat for this man
And his traveling band
Sprawling out on the sand
with an earthquake at hand.
I kicked her in the face
it made me feel so out of place
we're naked in the mud
but that's one thing we've never done
eyes on the road
forget about this episode
It's so absurd
This is what I've done to her.
