lyrics

A sullen refugee from some great negation
Survivor of that which iced his wild elation
Bespoke, it broke him down to cogs and splinters
But he shook off the scoff and the cough till winter’s end

Strode through the spring un-frightened
Over oceans and borders to a bight-minded kindness
Lightened up to get enlightened
Shrugged off the late weight of his country’s own blindness

Sprayed sheets of anger sweet in friendly stations
He sweated bright map-dots in foreign nations
And sung it sweet like high-lonesome drunk Replacements
Spurred on by glowing coils and the smell of basement joy

Touched tarmac a wiser person
Untried by those trials our boy is now that much more complete
Grim clouds of doubt dispersing
Inspired by the spires and the chords and the concrete
