[00:18.55] | Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole |
[00:21.56] | I saw your legends lined up |
[00:23.67] | And I never felt more natural |
[00:27.61] | Apart, I just came apart |
[00:34.53] | |
[00:34.73] | Please, please, please sister Socrates |
[00:37.02] | You always answer with a question |
[00:39.28] | Show some kindness to a petty thief |
[00:42.71] | Forgive, you did forgive |
[00:48.17] | |
[00:48.60] | Saw the migrants smoke in the old orange grove |
[00:52.09] | And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral |
[00:55.98] | You’ve been a father to me |
[00:57.72] | In 1960’s speak |
[00:59.54] | In the comatose joy that we’re on TV |
[01:03.23] | While the mountain’s side was shining |
[01:06.31] | Wild colors of my destiny |
[01:08.64] | |
[01:10.87] | I watched your face age backwards |
[01:13.47] | Changing shape in my memory |
[01:18.49] | You told me victory’s sweet |
[01:20.71] | Even deep in the cheap seats |
[01:24.09] | |
[01:42.08] | Hey, hey, hey mother interstate |
[01:45.22] | Can you deliver me from evil |
[01:47.25] | Make me honest make me wedding cake |
[01:51.16] | Atone, I will atone |
[01:56.36] | |
[01:57.07] | Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space |
[02:00.37] | All that flying saucer terror |
[02:02.34] | Made me lazy drinking lemonade |
[02:03.90] | A waste, it just went to waste |
[02:11.39] | |
[02:12.02] | Like the Freon cold out the hotel door |
[02:15.31] | Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral |
[02:18.95] | You’ve been a daughter to me |
[02:20.76] | Your buried shoe-box grief |
[02:22.66] | I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat |
[02:26.35] | While the waterfall was pouring |
[02:28.62] | Crazy symbols of my destiny |
[02:31.35] | |
[02:32.87] | I watched your face die backwards |
[02:35.24] | Little baby in my memory |
[02:40.38] | A lonely victory sweet |
[02:42.49] | Even deep in the cheap seats |
[02:46.20] | |
[02:49.51] | And you don’t judge me |
[02:53.32] | That’s not your style |
[02:57.14] | But I won’t see you for a little while |
[03:04.90] | And there’s no worries |
[03:08.82] | Whose got time |
[03:12.65] | All these changes are going to fill your mind |
[03:19.03] | |
[03:19.25] | Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove |
[03:22.64] | Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral |
[03:26.50] | It’s been a nightmare to me |
[03:28.32] | Some 1980’s grief |
[03:30.14] | Gives me parachute dreams |
[03:32.34] | Like old war movies |
[03:34.17] | While the universe was drawn |
[03:36.19] | Perfect circles form infinity |
[03:39.29] | |
[03:41.80] | Saw the stars get smaller |
[03:43.73] | Tiny diamonds in my memory |
[03:49.31] | I know that victory is sweet |
[03:51.46] | Even deep in the cheap seats |
[03:58.94] |
[00:18.55] | Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole |
[00:21.56] | I saw your legends lined up |
