Nobody Knows My Name

(album: The Sermon On Exposition Boulevard - 2007)

For a thousand years
I've laid upon the Lake Victoria
I was winged and many-colored
And nobody knew my name

For a thousand years
I fell out of the sand into the Guadalupe
And I made many songs into the air
And nobody knew my name

I fell like water
In sweet gasps of hydrogen up
Into the sea over the Bikini Islands
And I dove into the liquid concrete of sweet silver lake
The liquid concrete of down by the river
And nobody knew my name

Now I walk among them and I sing to them
And I open up my wrists
And nobody knows my name
And I translate into many hours of history
But nobody knows my name

I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds
I stood in the four winds
But nobody knows my name

So I walk again
Yeah, I walk every night
So I walk again
I look at you
Sweet every face

Do you know my name?
Do you, do you know my name?
Do you know my name?
Do you know my name?
Say
Do you know my name?
Say
Do you know my name?
Do you know my name?
Do you know my
Do you know my name?
Do you know my
My
