Nirvana in a Postcard

1992-08 – Bad Etiquette (cassette)

Harvey Dog (words), John Battaglia (music)


Lyrics

Nirvana in a Postcard - drawing by Harvey Dog for the 1992 Bad Etiquette song "Nirvana in a Postcard".

a mountain
falling
through
the sky
landing
on my head

tension unbearable
I break the rubble
and see
a murky sky
smoke-stacked
contaminated

I’m screaming for
cleanliness
a place to rest
like a postcard
heavenly – opaque

the sheen
shades
the illusion
the heaviness
the lost
nirvana

searching for
something
that
never
existed.
