|
Cold through broken baseboards. |
|
I despise this town. |
|
Snow on the sunroof, |
|
Two stories down. |
|
Hold hands, |
|
Wish the snow away. |
|
Rise in the darkness, |
|
Of the gathering day. |
|
Sing. |
|
Sing for ourselves alone. |
|
Speak into, |
|
The microphone. |
|
Cedar smudge our headbands, |
|
And take to the skies. |
|
Soar ever-upwards, |
|
On air gone black with flies. |
|
Shroud ourselves in the cosmos. |
|
Let the music play. |
|
Bright star of the morning, |
|
Shine on his rising way. |
|
Sing. |
|
In the night. |
|
In the nameless dark. |
|
Father long gone, |
|
But we bear his mark. |
|
Learn some secrets, |
|
Never tell. |
|
Stay sick, |
|
Don't get well. |
|
Clutch those broken headboards. |
|
Ride the highest wave. |
|
Dusky diamonds shining in the far depths of the cave. |
|
Try to explain ourselves, |
|
Babble on and on. |
|
By the time you receive this, we'll be gone. |
|
Sing. |
|
Sing high. |
|
While the fire climbs. |
|
Sing one for the old times. |
