lyrics

The McGowan’s left tonight
Shuddered plumb and buzzing truck
Brick by brick the wall tipped down
Cascades scrollwork without fight
Mortar labored absurd task
Noises crazy spreading fast

Dust will settle into cracks
Darken eyes like river glass
Trunks of heirlooms basement flack
Spreading memories askance
Withered walls and paper wreck
St. Anthony steamboat flecked with paint

Every bump shakes ground
Rising mystical
Sits an old man with a hat and tumor six years old
He shakes his head and wonders out loud what happened to penny Mournful darkness wilderness in oxcart days

How much better is the dirt
Than 50 familys cold meals?
Rotting poor lost plodded sad
Streetlamps torn from concrete feet
Tearing hearts from beating chests
Cities struggle with the mess

Cold grey pillars laid in wood
Strike towards the common arms
Elevated hardened steel
Driven up to meet the cloud
And in time the cars will ply
Asphalt smog induce demand and grime
