lyrics

I had a dream that I was lost,
The dark wind carried me home.
So I wake on a dirt floor to sounds of war,
Face the painful facts once more:

Economy is a monster.

I'm feeding all my loving to my mother,
But she's still not feeling any better.

God, could you let us have some water?
Because money's tight and water ain't cheap these days.


I've got a gunny sack full of black magic
Don't use no guns on our late-night runs
When we wait for the sunset,
Do our dimestore dance back to the
Hazy days, the lazy days, days
Never lost to slumber.

When gods grieve for fall's leaves
Dancing circles, we remember:
A brother, a shared history,
A common struggle,
On a midnight run to kill the sun,
Fill the bucket for our mother.


We're exposed here,
We should just keep moving, friend.
I'll see you sometime when the
Sun's shine has been
Blocked by the earth again.


Fight on.
