lyrics

maybe the fire will rain down tonight.
the flocks would all run and take cover,
breathing and panting, their lungs full of stones
they picked up and hurled at each other.
then the things that we’re chasing will appear to our eyes
as emptiness dressed up in grandeur.
and the longer we’re empty, the drama we thrive on
will wash away as clean as the sand.

and that’s why the papers are spotless,
and that’s why there’s little to see.
we don’t need a drink to forget all our worries.
we’re doing just fine with tv.

maybe the fire will rain down tonight.
the flocks would all run and take cover.
and maybe the fire is making us scared
for maria our virginite mother.
god o god, won’t you make me an athlete,
and make yourself manifest daily.
and give me the courage to make up in song
for what i know in my heart that i’m lacking.
