Oh, oh, oh, brother totem pole

I saw your legends lined up

And I never felt more natural

Apart, I just came apart Please, please, please, sister Socrates

You always answer with a question

Show some kindness to a petty thief

Forgive, you did forgive And watched the migrants smoke in the old orange grove

And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral

You've been a father to me, in 1960s-speak

Give me comatose joy like were on TV

While the mountains side was shining wild colors of my destiny I watched your face age backwards

Changing shape in my memory

You taught me victory's sweet

Even deep in the cheap seats Hey, hey, hey, mother interstate

Can you deliver me from evil

Make me honest, make me a wedding cake

Atone, I will atone Wait, wait, wait, mighty outer space

All that flying saucer terror

Made me lazy drinking lemonade

A waste, it just went to waste Like the Freon cold out the hotel door

Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral

You've been a daughter to me, your buried shoe box grief

I felt your poltergeist love like Savannah heat

While the waterfall was pouring crazy symbols of my destiny I watched your face die backwards

Little baby in my memory

You told me victory's sweet

Even deep in the cheap seats And you don't judge me, that's not your style

But I wont see you for a little while

And there's no worries, oh Lord, whose got time

Are these changes gonna fill your mind Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove

Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral

Its been a nightmare for me, some 1980s grief

Gives me parachute dreams like old war movies

While the universe was drawn perfect circles form infinity I watched the stars get smaller

Tiny diamonds in my memory

I know that victory's sweet

Even deep in the cheap seats
