lyrics

(.)

stop!
don't wander in the rain
some long lost lover's
gonna steal your heart again
even in the thirst of the light
the rhythm of the poets rain
softer than a summer night
stop!
don't wander in the hall
where the ghosts and the geese
run in circles up and down the walls
stop!
don't you know who i am
i'm the long lost cousin
of the man who shot uncle sam

stop!
you're standing too close
to the wires of the eyes of
the liars and their highs and lows
take a look at the sky
do you remember when they
said you shouldn't speak
or think or wonder why
stop!
don't stagger in the sun
if you walk like a lion
then you better know how to run
stop!
don't you know who i am
i'm the long lost brother
of the one who says he's uncle sam

stop!
before you get too far
beyond a precious air of reason
found falling
from a falling star
somewhere on a higher ground
the liars sound better
when they're lying out
of range of sound
stop!
don't you look my face
i'm only saying what i know
even though it's not my place
stop!
don't you know who i am
i knew a guy who knew a girl
who said she got it on
with uncle sam
