lyrics
Verse 1
Draw your five sharp breaths, pretend it's meditation.
To your showerhead higher power: "Gimme patience.
Make me nobody's robot, make me nobody's slaughtered lamb.
Fill me with forgiveness; open me as best you can."
*Verse 2
Play your cracked guitar for the Boston Occupation.
Ditch your blindfold drift, aimed for aimless destinations.
Watch the wakened assembly live principled, righteous lives.
Feel your heartbeat through set cement:
"Honored to be here, guys."
*Chorus 1
See, it's a slow crawl
At a new wave
And if you feel small
Don't, babe:
Whenever you're alone, you're not
*Verse 3
You wait in line, cycling finished conversations
Straighten out the story, edit out the faces
Lost in the file when the cashier catches your eye
Summon up a smile, come back to earth and mumble, "Hi."
*Chorus 2
And it's connected
On a timeline
It's a circle
No sides
At the same point where it starts, it stops
*Bridge
Out on the back lot
You wanted for nothing
You sat with your hands full
The future was open:
A dreamt southwestern sky
A moon-drenched island night
A newborn day, awake & alive
*Chorus 3
Now it's a nightclub
With a guest list
And uh-oh -
Bad news, kid:
Whoever's getting in, we're not
So let's start up our own, just us
Where anything we need, we got.
