Dean Young - Spring Reign lyrics

Spring Reign By Dean Young Thank you whoever tuned the radio to rain, thank you who spilled the strong-willed wine for not being me so I'm not to blame. I'm glad I'm not that broken tree although it looks sublime. And glad I'm not taking a test and running out of time. What's a tetrahedron anyway? What's the sublime, 3,483 divided by 9, the tenth amendment, the ferryman's name on the River Styx? We're all missing more and more tricks, losing our grips, guilty of crimes we didn't commit. The horse rears and races then moves no more, the sports coupe grinds to a stop, beginning a new life as rot, beaten to sh**, Whitman gra** stain, consciousness swamp gas, the bones and brain, protoplasm and liver, ground down like stones in a river. Or does the heart's cinder wash up as delta froth out of which hops frog spawn, dog song, the next rhyming grind, next kid literati? Maybe the world's just a bubble, all philosophy ants in a muddle, an engine inside an elk's skull on a pole. Maybe an angel's long overdue and we're all in trouble. Meanwhile thanks whoever for the dial turned to green downpour, thanks for feathery conniptions at the seashore and moth-minded, match-flash breath. Thank you for whatever's left.
