Tessellate |
| All the boys who called their mothers on that day |
| Were no tough bunch but they had the nerves to go and say |
| That all your secrets were drowned |
| With the pioneers who were flooded from this town |
| They packed their bags only moments too late |
| With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates |
| 'Cause dire times call for dire faces |
| So lovely dancer, call and answer |
| Trade our places in the night |
| We’re running barefoot, you and I |
| Dead lovers salivate |
| Broken hearts tessellate tonight |
| And all the kids who cut their knees on that old schoolyard fence |
| Were holding out for posterity and self-defense |
| We beat them down again |
| There’s no fun in playing cowboys for pretend |
| We showed them what the backs of our hands is for |
| The divide is clear in the coming year |
| The rich will take the poor |
| 'Cause dire times call for dire faces |
| So lovely dancer, call and answer |
| Trade our places in the night |
| We’re running barefoot, you and I |
| Dead lovers salivate |
| Broken hearts tessellate tonight |
