lyrics

SUNDAY PRAYER, xxii


Time & time again,
I hear the future of the world
is drunk and out looking for girls,
killing pigs in front of pearls.
It has disco balls for brains.
Its barley lips curl in disdain,
when all we wished to get was change.
But as they say, staying the same, I am, I am.


Time & time again,
it can't be so. We are forgotten.
The Earth the kidney stone of God.
And there's no future, we have passed,
like history's a game of hangman,
pouring water for the sandman,
sprinking ash on copper treetops,
will we be ready when the flag drops? I am, I am, I am.


But you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine.
Dusk to a moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes.


Time & time again, I am, I am.
