Dappled Cities - Kid lyrics

Where's the kid who climbed this greater height Who gave the older and wiser a wink of the eye Then a graceful departure Who's ambition sold our best foot forward and back With a candid and smiling attack And a brain full of wonder All the celebration, the cathedral and choir and machine Are a blanket wrapped up in a kid With a mouth full of praises So long, may your lemmings tumble down And bury deep your sill little town Babe brought up the belly of the whale So you know that we're the kids who made up A divided supply of the land and a culture that waved the hand of a generation You can grow against our side of saliva So long, may your lemmings tumble down And bury deep your sill little town Babe brought up the belly of the whale And the kid said So long, it's complicated but this engine hummed along To the groan of how man made it so resistibly slow, and so long It's complicated but babe delivered us the belly of the whale
