It looks a lot like engine oil, and tastes like bein' poor, and small. And popsicles. In summer. Goosebumps...

I lived in the Pacific North West growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s I had no idea such demons existed till I was a teenager & I read about the Green RIver Killer, which this song is about, don't get me wrong people talked about it and it was a known thing but as a young person it always felt removed or like an urban legend or something. Now that I'm older when I listen to this song it gives me chills 2 very different ways.

I think these lyrics are reflections of living in the area of where the Green River murderer was killing prostitutes. Though at the time when she went to school in the area, She didn't know those killed were prostitutes.

Fantastic song, One of my favorites by Neko Case. Amazing lyrics too... "It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small and popsicles in the summer"

This was the first song of Neko's I heard. I listened to the song in a listening station at Border's and was blown away. This was exactly the kind of 'country' music I was fantasizing existed. From this one song, I discovered a whole new world of music -- Neko, Ryan Adams, Sixteen Horsepower, Tarnation, Gilian Welch, Jesse Sykes, Uncle Tupelo, etc etc. Thanks Neko!!

This song seriously just makes me shake. The first time I heard it, my hands started trembling like crazy, and it still elicits this reaction from me. It's kind of weird. And her voice on the Austin City Limits version? My god. Mind blowing. Especially the part after the pedal-steel solo.
