[00:59.65] Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
[01:03.20] There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
[01:06.08]
[01:06.70] His body's decomposing in containers tonight
[01:08.82]
[01:09.88] In an abandoned building where
[01:12.13]
[01:14.00] A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
[01:16.87]
[01:17.55] With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
[01:20.36]
[01:21.17] She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
[01:24.48] Four winds blowing through her hair
[01:27.54] But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
[01:33.72]
[01:35.03] She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
[01:41.58] She caves
[01:43.83]
[02:01.92] The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran's mute
[02:06.04] If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still
[02:09.04] They are pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
[02:12.66] While shadows lengthen the sun
[02:14.96]
[02:15.96] Cast off the schools of meditation built to soften the times
[02:19.02]
[02:19.89] And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
[02:22.58]
[02:23.45] It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
[02:25.95]
[02:26.64] Four winds, cry until it comes
[02:29.07]
[02:29.88] And it's the son of man
[02:32.93]
[02:33.50] Slouching towards Bethlehem
[02:35.87]
[02:37.24] A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
[02:43.61]
[02:45.04] It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
[02:53.71]
[03:06.76] Well, I went back to my rented Cadillac and company jet
[03:09.50]
[03:10.44] Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
[03:13.31]
[03:14.30] All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
[03:17.05]
[03:17.61] They said, "You'd better look alive"
[03:20.11]
[03:21.24] And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
[03:24.11]
[03:25.04] In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
[03:27.78]
[03:28.60] I buried my ballast, I made my peace
[03:31.28]
[03:31.78] With four winds, levelling the pines
[03:33.71]
[03:34.90] But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
[03:40.65]
[03:42.08] She just can't compete with all that outer space
[03:48.06]
[03:49.81] She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves
[00:59.65] Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
[01:03.20] There s people always dying trying to keep them alive
[01:06.08]
[01:06.70] His body s decomposing in containers tonight
