lyrics

The factory workers have long since recovered from
dangerous confessions of lesbian lovers that they accept.

The cops and the hunters all lay in the park
playing board games called “Innocence” and “Old Noah’s Ark”
with their bullets as game pieces.

The gentle and subdued all picket the streets
holding hologram images of war and defeat
that are fading fast for all to see.

And all the newspapers are bearing blank pages
and there are no more screens bouncing light off people’s faces.

Paradise isn’t lost; It’s just a matter of getting there.
Quit trying to run from yourself; let me tie this knot in your hair.
Only in hopes that I could remind.

You can’t see the sky with your face down.
This mesmerizing parade of time will succeed and divide.
Withering, headstrong, I am a disguise.
The costume is slowly fading, but the inside is all right.

Paradise isn’t lost; It’s just a matter of getting there.
Quit trying to run from yourself; let me tie this knot in your hair.
Only in hopes that I could remind.
