lyrics

Hello, New World...

Awaiting the L from Hospital, Chicago is
Cold tonight, lake view like crimped sheets
Under moonlight.

She thinks of her father as a train wreck,
Riding his rollercoaster towards death, and
They speak in a twist of languages,
Speed winding in her stomach round
All the bends.

(& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.
& all you'll ever see is you looking back at me.)

I’d seen her collection of childhood toys,
Glass animals sharp and cracked, thrown
Into ungainly flight in a fit of her
Mother’s religious pique, symptoms of
The old world, their broken limbs like
Symbols of the new.

Hello, new world, hello.
Hello city lights.
Hello, new world, hello.
Hello city lights.

Let’s never go back to your mother’s house,
I joke, I plead, I pray; let’s cut to
The L in circles, or ride
The northbound freeway, let's make our escape.

Let’s never see the Chicago moon again.
Let’s never see the Chicago moon again.

There's blood on the lake tonight,
We're dieing inside...
