They estimate The falling sun And the Orphists plight Stimulated no one So call me On no sleep With just a little something To remind us what to do If you run, run like hell And remember there's history And if they don't believe you Just send them back to me Because they can't deny They just have to see That the roots and the ruins are the same thing They are the same thing I often hear The new poetry From your scratchy throat At quarter-after-three
That's when I know I owe this to you As autumn owes the trees With their roots still strong From the ruins of some stray seed Look out for guns Look out for girls And other stories that could tear apart our world And no matter what No matter what you do I will look out for you Look out for guns Look out for girls And other stories that could tear apart our world And no matter what No matter what you do I will look out for you
