It helps a lot.
That's basically it for right here.

So every night,
sometimes when we're driving at 60 miles an hour
down the highway,
that's the dude who was guarding the bus.
He gave us some charms to go to Detroit.
That was some shells.
I thought that was from Eric's puka shell necklace.
Those are my teeth that I rip out every night.
That's kind of weird.
