NEW SONG

she could dress me up and leave me out
on some kind of higher plane
where the foundations are scattered about
along somebody else's shame
she could tell me that it's all a joke
while sending me out to dry
using language that we never spoke
to accurately describe the hole in the sky

it's time
to sing a new song
one that sends those
shivers down my spine
one that seeps and lingers
in the back of my mind
one that you can sing along to

oh my oh my oh my oh my
it goes something like this
oh my oh my oh my oh my
celebrate this moment
with a paused reflection
and we'll sing a new song


she could bury me in sheets of gold
or melt me in the cruel cruel sun
and send me down the river cold
to the sheer delight of everyone
it's time to draw these pictures out
those scenes from that last parade
where everyone was talking about
the state of the nation and the mess they made

it's time
to sing a new song
one that makes no
sense for the times
or one that's so obscure
that no one cares if it rhymes
one that you can sing along to

oh my oh my oh my oh my
it goes something like this
oh my oh my oh my oh my
forget about this moment
with a staunch indifference
and we'll sing a new song
