[1st Verse] One thousand stillborn thoughts to cradle and hold With my mother's hands a place that my mind Chased and hoped, of these empty winds, to breathe No I won't rest, when the house is to shame Call out to these waters, yes you Great Lakes Do I bury them with their names? [2nd Verse] You cut me open, just to see what's within Clean up these organs, wrap your words with my skin I guess Im just looking for a transplant lover With infinite regress Some one who would dance around my doors And sing a casket, what do you say?, now what do you say? It is a strange year, and it appears that I am stuck [Chorus] But I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion [3rd Verse] Stranded in the north sea, yeah a wild dream Frantic city keep my warm, this fall, it's been a heavy year Bathurst, Spadina, St. George and Bay Am I to condemn, the hands of darkness? Now tell it to the quiet fire of my blood, tell it to the eager Fever of my heart, who will arrange the funeral? [Chorus] I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion I predict, a graceful expulsion
