Paroles de San Francisco, 1906

Left alone outside -
The field overgrown, in time
One day, a passerby
would expose, what there, there lies:

San Francisco, 1906
Picture takers get a fix of storymakers' dreams
To feed the ruthless magazines
Fires fueled by gasoline and propane
An earthquake like the world had never seen
You know it split them like a seam

They weren't the makers of a dream
Auspicious everything we read
They weren't the makers of a dream
Auspicious everything we read
And so, we are offended by the things we learn to be true

Christmas coming, 1941
Zeroes humming, take the air - 400 kettle drum
A mother makes another bed
The pillows found of green and red
Smoothing wrinkles in the dark - is he dead?

What there, there lies

Nations rise and swell to sizes, unmanageable
Nations rise and swell to sizes, unimagineable

What there, there lies
There lies, there lies!
