[ar:Tori Amos] |
|
[al:Unrepentant Geraldines] |
[00:12.40] |
The other America |
[00:19.74] |
You can find her Sundays |
[00:24.06] |
Sitting by a stream |
[00:28.16] |
On her own |
[00:31.18] |
All alone |
[00:34.99] |
The other America |
[00:42.04] |
Might show up on Tuesdays |
[00:46.44] |
At your kitchen door |
[00:51.10] |
She will ask politely |
[00:55.58] |
"Is anybody home? |
[01:01.99] |
Or did they all lay down |
[01:08.63] |
To sleep through the now |
[01:14.34] |
And if they all lay down |
[01:20.60] |
I'll be waiting for them |
[01:27.56] |
At the river bed |
[01:32.97] |
Once they wake from their rest" |
[01:40.79] |
|
[01:42.77] |
The other America |
[01:50.06] |
Takes herself to night school |
[01:54.52] |
To understand the law |
[01:59.16] |
She may bring you questions |
[02:03.67] |
When she finds the flaw |
[02:09.99] |
"Why did they all lay down |
[02:16.57] |
To sleep through the now? |
[02:22.40] |
And if they all lay down |
[02:28.40] |
I'll be waiting for them |
[02:35.76] |
At the river bed |
[02:40.86] |
Once they wake from their rest" |
[02:47.86] |
|
[02:52.10] |
We could be opening a doorway globally |
[02:55.84] |
But that's okay |
[02:58.33] |
Once upon a time you had faith |
[03:01.26] |
You would not be swayed |
[03:03.57] |
By fools untouched by clairvoyance |
[03:07.34] |
And you swore that we'd be brave |
[03:10.89] |
Well not today |
[03:13.92] |
No not today |
[03:19.72] |
Because we all lay down |
[03:25.79] |
To sleep through the now |
[03:31.66] |
And if we all lay down |
[03:38.17] |
She'll be waiting for us |
[03:44.92] |
Where the rivers cross |
[03:50.40] |
Once we wake from our rest |
[03:56.70] |
"All the best," The Other America |
