Preoccupations - Pontiac 87

Текст песни

I recall seeing the pope
Pontiac 1987
Money changing between hands
Outside the Silverdome
Afterwards a riot broke
Old folks turned brutish
Trampling their way out the gates
Towards heaven
That fall from grace
Knocked me on my knees
Don’t tell anyone
That’s what I wanted
The god of change
Knocked me on my knees
Don’t tell anyone
That’s what I wanted
Remembering a Jumbo’s night
December 26th
Weird faces filled up the bar
Half sober
Outside a steady snow
All new white
With new money and false friends
I don’t like it
That fall from grace
Knocked me on my knees
Don’t tell anyone
That’s what I wanted
The god of change
Knocked me on my knees
Don’t tell anyone
That’s what I wanted
The dog in the manger
Eats its anger
But I miss it
The way it was
Before the scales
Fell from my eyes
There’s no use being sad about it
What’s the point of crying about it
