Tomorrow I'll Be You
(专辑: War All The Time - 2003)
in the
circuit, the
frequency's breaking up. the
speakers can barely move this is not a
test tune to the
broadcast. witness the
jetlag. look in the
mirror. adjust the
V-hold shatter the
lens. pull out the
shards. choke on her words, caught in her throat. how long can the
wheels maintain a
spin, at this velocity? on every block, a
reminder: you can't stop this intersection. at every turn, dead forests of tenements rise like antennas. the
miles are adding up and the
days are counting down. cut the
jet black from my hair before we're bathed in the
dawn of New Year's Day. I
will change back to myself in the
flame, we burn like the
paper hearts of dead presidents. we're too lost, to lose hope. maybe the
night seems so dark because the
day is much too bright for us to see that we are cured. (shatter the
lens. pull out the
shards). we are cured (choke on her words, caught in your throat). that's the
sound of music from another room the
piano player hangs from piano wire but the
player piano carries on. sit back and tune to the
broadcast. this is not a
test shatter the
lens. pull out the
shards. choke on her words, caught in your throat. as the
language dissolves and the
setence lifts, a
slow alphabet of rain is whispering, "aabcttipacbdefg..." since I
replaced the I
in live with an O, I
can't remember who you are... ...but tomorrow I'll be you. just pick up the
phone. I'm calling from your house, in your room, in your name, lying in your bed, following your dreams. I
listen to your voice get caught in my throat as I
sing, "This Is Just A
Dream." on New Year's Day, we will change back to ourselves. in the
flame we are cured. we are cured. we are cured.
