Flag |
| Take that noise out in the street |
| This rubble out from under my feet |
| No rest for the weary in here |
| And make a fuss, you’re a volunteer |
| These days, they lord above me |
| Growing mean as they grow shorter |
| Like a flag on a closing border now… |
| Closing right behind you |
| In a crowd down off the hill |
| Full of bloodlust and good will |
| We carried pride above our heads |
| Like a flag we could cheer to wake the dead |
| And when we could go no further |
| And were drowning on a desert |
| We raised our flag to follow the breath of God… |
| But it was blowing every which way |
| I loved you long before I knew |
| Love is something one decides to do |
| My vanity and fear conspired belief |
| That love’s just a mirror for a thief |
| So when you held me tight against you |
| And I mistook your heart for thunder |
| And like a flag, hid behind and under you… |
| Who could blame me? |
| (When you held me tight against you |
| And I mistook your heart for thunder |
| Like a flag, I hid behind it |
| Like a flag, I’m hiding under you) |
| Now I hang my clothes out to dry |
| Like waves of surrender, they fly |
| The whore of this world looks old and played |
| Still she peeks from the alley |
| Like a waiting bride’s maid |
| Laugh or bleed as you need to |
| Who of us doesn’t know already? |
| Every flag flies like confetti now… |
