The Gathering |
| The first time that the beat drops in the bar, it’s gonna be biblical |
| The second that the sing-along starts, it’ll be sensational |
| So sound the alarms and the sirens, the bells in the churches |
| Bring your parents and your kids into the street, throw open the hatches |
| I’ve been missing the feeling when we close up the gaps between us |
| It’s better than the best, benediction, more bracing than blood-lust |
| 'Cause we’ve been waiting and wandering, practicing and praying |
| Saving and slavering, gathering ourselves for the gathering |
| We’ve been huddled in our houses for however many days like survivors |
| And we’ve been dutifully paying our dues and paying heed to our advisors |
| Yeah, but we’re pent-up and we’re pissed off and we’re perilously close to the |
| precipice |
| We’re butterflies in ballet shoes and Brothel Creepers coming out of our |
| chrysalis |
| It comes down to this: |
| I’m missing the feeling when we close up the gaps between us |
| It’s better than the best, benediction, more bracing than blood-lust |
| 'Cause we’ve been waiting and wandering, practicing and praying |
| Saving and slavering, gathering ourselves for the gathering |
| All together now |
| This is our mantra: we gather together |
| We look out for each other, because we’ve got strength in our numbers |
| This is our mantra: we gather together |
| We look out for each other, 'cause we’ve got strength in our numbers |
| And I’ll be the preacher and this is the scripture: |
| Once more with feeling, this is a gathering |
| This is a gathering |
| Gather together |
| Gather together |
| Gather together |
| This is a gathering |
| Gather together |
| Gather together |
| Gather together |
| This is a gathering |
