| In other times you’d lose those graces
|
| In a blaze of accusations, on slates of stone
|
| In other worlds your kings and queens
|
| Will not stand up to scrutiny
|
| While things are spoken, while gods are dead
|
| I’ll state my case and cover down
|
| These words are mine to kill your hate
|
| And melt your swords in fire
|
| There’s nothing left for us in the city
|
| I’ll take my chances on the road
|
| There’s nothing precious in the city
|
| Won’t buy the lies that I’ve been told
|
| Come visit me with new desires
|
| Come visit me with hand grenades
|
| Come talk to me of foreign lands
|
| Of burning skies and hidden chords
|
| Come fuck with me and leave me open
|
| To new ideas and metaphors
|
| Come down with me to where I lay
|
| To drink the blood from whisky jars
|
| It’s not that I don’t know what I am doing here
|
| It’s not that I don’t know where I am going here
|
| It’s not that I don’t know what I’m saying here
|
| (This is a war)
|
| Just by now I should have some better idea, better way
|
| There’s nothing that can’t be forgiven
|
| There’s nothing left for us in the city |
| I’ll take my chances on the road |
