i was gathered like a washed-up lobster

I really dig this song! I can't believe it's been out for 11 months and still only 1,264 people on last.fm listen to it. I'm the first to try to write up the lyrics so there are def some errors. I tried all my tricks for filling in the blanks and fell short but i'd rather post 95% of the lyrics than not post the song at all... please add corrections if/when you can =)

Whizz Kid - The Amplifetes

i was a low-down, drained-out ruckster
without a mission
she picked me up outside the doctor's
she was a vision
she took me on a trip in her Bugatti
on to the cabin
it was a first-class ride but oh, then
____(?)

Easy Rider, Kafka, Kubrick

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid

well i was gathered like a washed-up lobster
pulled the ocean
she was a ___(?) roller-coaster
without the motion

Rolling Stones, Bukowski, gremlins

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid

Chekhov, Taxi Driver, Peckinpah

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid

the sound goes off at random
you're talking like a whizz kid
what you're wrong about i can't spell
keep walking little whizz kid
