Extract - Lyrics - Bastro
Bastro was an American post-hardcore band which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's main line-up consisted of David Grubbs on guitar, Clark Johnson on bass guitar, and John McEntire on drums. The band also experimented with use of piano, organ and musique concrète compositions, foreshadowing McEntire's and Grubbs' subsequent musical projects.

Late fall, near February
My better half locked the cabinet
Out of sight, out of my mind
Late fall, near February
Still struggling with rat's nests one and two
Nice breath, ah, nice breath
I'm subtracted, exhumed
Put on display so I can eat
Little bottles, dark sweet extract
Put on display so I can eat
I'm basking, shining warm
They tell me, "You smell just like a cake"
I'm basking, shining warm
They tell me, "You smell just like a cake"
"You smell just like a cake"
"You smell just like a cake"
"You smell just like a cake"
"You smell just..."
Late fall near March, r.n. one says,
"I like your shoes, is that cordovan?
A little bloodshot, your eyes, I mean
I mean, are they brown?"
I'm basking, shining warm
They tell me, "You smell just like a cake"
I'm basking, shining warm
They tell me, "You smell just like a cake"
"You smell just like a cake"
They go, "You smell just like a cake"
They tell me, "You smell just like a cake"
They tell me, "You smell just..."
