|
Crude little wooden idols and aviator shades |
|
The trinkets and the treasures we brought back from the crusades |
|
Some guy in an |
|
Impala shakes his head when he rides by |
|
But I remember when we shared a vision, you and |
|
IWorked hard to build this altar we made it earn its keep |
|
The cracks across its surface spiderweb while we're asleep |
|
The sacrificial stains all spread out and soaking through |
|
But I remember when we kept it pretty, me and you |
|
And high above the water the eagle spots the fish |
|
Every martyr in this jungle is gonna get his wish |
|
Stockshots, stupid stockshots from the |
|
Pamona mall |
|
Set up like unloved icons gathering dust up on the wall |
|
From films no one remembers they call down silently |
|
But I remember when their names were dear to you and me |
|
Pennies on the dollar everything's gotta go |
|
The things that we can't even give away |
|
I don't wanna know |
|
Try to see if secrets burn when you hold them up into the light |
|
I remember when we loved each other day and night |
|
And high above the water the eagle spots the fish |
|
Every martyr in the jungle is gonna get his wish |
