[Intro]
[Verse 1: Yoni Wolf]
Until the hankerchief of history covers us with its
Times new roman black and white post script
I will wear lavender shirts in yellow painted public restrooms
Looking like art deco in my september complexion
And red against blue skies
And have those pictures taken to be proof
Against the dull mood of your highschool history teacher that we wore color
That we distributed the seeds of dead dandilions
In the cement surrounded city parts
That we let our skin soak up the sun despite the advice of modern science
That we sometimes wore our hair long and let it curl
And never combed it or put it in braids
That we taught ourselves to play the pots and pans
So that we would have something honest to dance to
Something soulful to sing to
And sometimes we had trouble seeing past our own reflections in the bedroom window
Because it was dark outside
And the flourescents inside left shadows under our chests
And sculpted the torso to look it's friday night fittest
Yeah i'm vain
There was light here before there wasn't
And before that there wasn't
But seagulls still ate shallow water fish
Morning boys still cast tall shadows
And all the while the stars are slowly separating
[Hook]
I remember when your head caught flame
Back when bold blood surged through bulging veins
I remember when your head caught flame
Amazed the blaze left unburnt the brain
I remember when your head caught flame
Back when bold blood surged through bulging veins
I remember when your head caught flame
Unblocked the chain and forgot god's name
