Keep your eye on the flipping coin You can call it in the air if you try kid Take your knife to the table Let the whole world know what your name is A fever of initiative that storms the mind Like closed eyes flashing lightning As if it mattered if they tried Could only resemble the rise of something frightening Soon we'll have nowhere to go But home Take a pilgrimage across the seas
Like your great Daddy did See if who you are is really far From the place that you are in Leave the boy to his legend Leave out your instruction And if the powers that be Put the powers in me Then I'll sing 'til all statues Lay in shattered destruction And the panic in me Will cry a flickering plea Soon we'll have nowhere to go But home
