Sing It To The River
Dérive

There's a party at Cane Creek.

The stars and the signs are flashing in my eyes.

What a sad road for these violent violent times.

And for just 7.95, you can come on down, have a drink and have a good

time. We’ll all laugh and we’ll listen to children explode when

they’ve done something wrong. Last time. It’s their swan song. Yeah.

Go to peaceful sleep at the bottom of our creek.

I hear all the preachers laughing.

I hear all the preachers laughing.

I see parents shaking their fists

In up and down lines in 4/4 time.

I hear all my children crying.

What's my body worth?

Check your price tag.

What's my guarantee?

Check your pulse.

What's my return date?

Check your vital signs.

What's my status?

We're all up for sale.

Listen please to these broken dreams

We were falling down dead from the tops of the trees

To the cold hard ground with the twigs and the laves

To decay in silence and reverie

We wandered through the cold in the dead of night

Staring at the stars – what a lovely sight

Brought back to reality and struck half blind

By the city so tall with her neon lights

Mom and Dad were always good to me

‘Til they took me to the church by the dusty creek

Started reading all the words of the man with the pearls

And when I got home late they started beating me.

They tore off all my clothes and they ripped into the skin

And still they dared to cry when they saw me in my coffin

I was lowered to the ground. Six feet down.

They never heard me shriek over old Cane Creek.

My baby’s mouth is full of tar charred feathers.

My creek is nothing but crippling bad weather.

My kitchen table’s made from switch blade metal.

And my front yard is a play ground for grave yards.

I hear all my children crying

And Bow Your Tired Head Down Confessions of a Data Miner Disconnected Catacombs Exeunt Follow Me To The Promenade Found It In The Bright White Starlight Fukushima Waves How We Blew It Invisible Fingers Last Night At The Social Lost It In The Blackened Morning On The Edge of Fertile Territory Phantom Party Sing It To The Ground Spots On The Analog Sunset There Lies Some Hope In Them There Hollows Two Movements What’s Next
