lyrics

in the still point city away from overt sin,
our curiosity let us let it in.
they came with manifestos that attacked religion,
authority, economy, hierarchal separation.

I surfaced in the pool outside of your mcmansion.
your dad asking, "why's this cd playing say 'goddamn' so much?"
then he blacked out, cracked his ribs trying to jump in-

a story we retold over a bowl of weed,
and nervous glances out back from the driver's seat.
you were afraid of coming out to me.

we had common dreams in the years before
an entire culture went to war.

and quick to disavow that jesuit education,
you drifted to chicago for a four year bender,
drew your battle lines from the gutter,

with mother asking why you couldn't be loyal like Peter,
from your alma mater, "look! he's now entering state legislature..."
- to prey on the young female senators.

they had common dreams in the years before
an entire culture went to war.

our loud mouths shot round town like pinballs scoring points,
trapped within a framework they built to disorient.
I knew you wanted badly to believe and give full presence,
but once you saw the corrupt truth, there's no way to unlearn it.
