about

Andrew, enlightened, and his neighbors, friendly enough, exit the scene making supplications.

lyrics

ANDREW: Death purchased property
in my arteries
on Fourth Street
at the corner of head and heart.

Death bought a gift-shop there
selling skeleton dresses
to the skulking, scheming, scared and unbelieving
girls around the park.

Business got bad,
Mondays got sad.
He told Mom and Dad
he's coming home.

Oh, business went south,
these people don't look down
they look about
and I've torn out their tongues
but I can't tear out their hopeful sounds.

Death got his I.D. made
at a border state,
bored and weary, he said:
"Ohio you can burn in hell."

So I rose, a rising rose,
and marveled at my body
my apartment, my city --
oh the glory!
We are one, come,
ring the bells!

The wave,
the plaster split,
the million men,
the crucifix,
I'm all of them,
come exorcist,
my legion longs for a final fix,
and finally found,
if hope can find,
in other lips
and other eyes
to whom I'm a whole,
a body, a soul,
a single life that lives and dies.
Oh how high this highest candle lights the dark!
Being here with you, it is enough,
my lack is everything to eyes long-lit with love.

NEIGHBORS: Boy you've got to get yourself some self-control
Boy you've got to save your shipwrecked soul.

ANDREW: And there's nor drug that I can take
to make the ache go away
but that's okay
life isn't comfort
it's a flame
and Death, her hottest heart,
draws me down to deepest dark
melting all my disparate parts into one.

Jesus, oh Jesus, Jefferson Valley's full of bones.
Jesus, oh Jesus, won't you make what's broken whole?
