lyrics

BLOODLESS WAR

Give me a hand
through the birth of a bloodless war.

Riding a pen,
like the moan of a fire truck.
I'm on a roll.

Rolling a stone
up the shade of a mountaintop.

Dragged by a hope
through the throat of a chimneytop.
I'm on a roll.

I'm on a roll,
to the death in the Middle West.

Beating a heart,
getting dark in a lover's dark.
I'm on a roll.

Let's go for a long walk on a mirror,
looking for the tape with wooden sheers.
Easter after Easter raising stakes.
Seizing up the day the mirror breaks.
Have to break some molds to make a name, a name.

I'm on a roll.

DAS - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
