From the recording What Is And Never Was
Lyrics
Hey, where you goin'
now that the walls have tumbled to the ground Hey, wha'chu doin'
while the world is burning down
We've gone automatic
we're in a systematic purge
What's left problematic
is our chance at a lesson learned
Cuz what does anybody know
more than I do or than you do, or he do, or she do
So what should we do
Close your eyes
running down the middle of the street
screaming in some unknown alphabet
No better yet
let's go off into the woods
We'll build a fire and we'll dance under the moon
'til we're consumed
with an acceptance and a fear
like we haven't had since we were little kids
Aw, gee wiz
And in the morning
if we're both still here alive to start again
We'll break this chrysalis apart
an' shed off all our thinning skin
we'll throw our ashes to the wind
Hey, where you goin'
now that the walls have tumbled to the ground
Hey, wha'chu doin'
while the world is burning down
Just this side of tragic
we stomp our feet, we clap our hands
A brand new kind of magic
The roof collapses while we dance
an' it's all trance and chants
that run us through and through
Some kind of voodoo that we all do
and can't but give into
but before we do
Close your eyes
meet me in the middle of the street
we'll write everything out lest we forget
No better yet
strip me down into my rawest frame
we'll reconnect the pieces
change our bodies, change our names
We realize
that when you know just what you are
then you know what you should do
we're brilliant children after all
So it's your call
And in the morning if we're both still here
alive to start again
we'll break this chrysalis apart
an' shed off all our thinning skin
we'll throw our ashes to the wind
Hey, where you goin'
now that the walls have tumbled to the ground
Hey, wha'chu doin'
while the world is burning down
