Prompt / Lyrics
--- [Intro — banjo riff with a plunger thump on beat] Somebody go jiggle the handle… 'Cause this story’s about to back up. --- [Verse 1] Burnin' Man, midweek heat, gotta take a dump, can’t feel my feet. Toilets are full, the line’s a mile, I’m walkin’ with my bucket, not a trace of style. Chemical blue, sloshin’ around, tryin’ not to gag at that splashy sound. Holdin’ the handle like a cursed prize, searchin’ porta-potties with bloodshot eyes. --- [Verse 2] Third stall in, every door’s locked, startin’ to think this bucket’s gonna talk. Look up the row — what do I see? Another poor bastard mirrorin’ me. He’s got his bucket, I got mine, we’re synced like porta-potty Gemini. We meet in the middle, both lookin’ dead, I raise my bucket and awkwardly said— --- [Chorus — shout it with pride] Cheers?! He blinked, looked lost in fear — then smiled and mumbled back, Cheers?! No words left, just poop in a bowl, a silent salute from soul to soul. No eye contact, just carried on, bucket to bucket, brotherhood strong. --- [Verse 3] Last stall swings open like a Vegas slot, I dive in like it's the last good spot. Blue wave crashes, my work gets dumped, pray the fumes don’t make me slump. But I’m thinkin’ now, as I wipe and pray, "Oh hell, we’re both headed back this way." Do I pass him again and clink those tins? Or let him win and dodge my sins? --- [Verse 4] So I step out bold, back to the track, hopin' for that second bucket smack. Two stalls down, I glance with fear— his door opens up... ...and he disappears. --- [Outro — slow it down, soft strum, crowd half laughing, half cheering] He ran. Around the back. He didn’t wanna cheers the empty sack. Guess he wasn’t ready for round two beers… But I’ll never forget… Poop bucket cheers. ---
