• From the top of the ocean
  From the bottom of the sky
  Well, I get claustrophobic
  • "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine," The Lonesome Crowded West (1997) as quoted by Brian Howe of Pitchfork [1]

• I didn't move to the city
  The city moved to me
  And I want out desperately.
  • "Cowboy Dan," The Lonesome Crowded West (1997) as quoted by Brian Howe of Pitchfork [2]

• I was in heaven
  I was in Hell
  Believe in neither
  But fear them as well.
  • "Doin' the Cockroach," The Lonesome Crowded West (1997) as quoted by Brian Howe of Pitchfork [3]

• Brock has a knack for spinning the bleakness of late-stage capitalism into postmodern poetry, finding romance in trailer parks and truck stop bathrooms.
