Cattail Down
(专辑: It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Alright - 2009)
Cattail Down, the
morning rail yard whistle blows. Cattail Down, our boxcar bound for no-one-knows. After every hidden seed out from its covering has been free and every book has been discarded from the
bookshelf. Cattail Down, in the
forgetting of myself. Cattail Down, replace the
feathers in our vest. Cattail Down, surround the
ivy that's gone to poison in my chest. The
Parachute broke loose!, cried the
Goose with misplaced (but understandable) concern for his little Brother's mental health, his happy little Brother in the
forgetting of himself. Cattail Down, around the
bulrush the
pollen shed. Cattail Down, to dress my wounds, it left a
Bee sting in their stead. Have been anger thoughts from out my head Headed east out of St. Paul we stopped for water, rested in the
cemetery, watched the
Mississippi. Running out of food stamps, found a
bag along the
footpath off highway 61, filled with what looked like marijuana. (don't worry, Mom, we left it there...) Hopped a
grainer out of Pig's Eye toward Milwaukee, the
Deer between the
tower and the
tracks saw right through us, said: You don't know where you came from, you don't know where you're going. You think you're you, but you don't know who you are, you're not you... you're Everyone Else. You're Everyone Else...
