Uncle June and Aunt Kiyoti |
Lying all night, screaming in pain |
Defending the cross in the Belfast rain |
The billy saw me at the end of the street |
So I lit up my torch and embraced him with heat |
Town of Aintab in 340 A. D |
Threw me in a quarry, no way to get free |
I called on hate to give me my life |
And he came on his black horse, obsidian knife |
Happened one night, I was lying in bed |
Eyes wide open, I could have been dead |
The sky lady came with her eyes shining bright |
And the bears and the billies and the bullies took flight |
But I called them all back |
And the sky lady too |
The bears and the billies and the bullies |
Me and you |
We laid down our bombs and bows |
And drank to their health on the Anatolian plateau |
From New Scotland to Calgary |
The geese are high and so are we |
We don’t even need a map |
We’re way too fast for the highway trap |
So hit the road and shine a light |
I think we’re gonna find the path tonight |
Shooting star and the moon is bad |
It’s the best damn omen that we ever had |
