A murderer still on the lam
Out in the west, the cars are crashing
Democracy's shackled hands
Saada Tekmel B'Lhouria
Back in the east, the lights went out
Asleep on the interstate
False and inflatable feeling
On trial way back in The Hague
Saada Tekmel B'Lhouria
Eternity's wedding band
One brick on top of another
Seance that brought us together
Big as the Macy's Parade
Objects we move with our minds
And in the south, the sun is shining
Tugs at my senses
The ecstasy's still in my spine
Such is the measure of man
Planets are inset like diamonds
Coat check, I couldn't remember
Lullaby sounds from the engine
Stuck on a ladder to heaven
Coat check and I lost the number
Tekmel B'Lhouria
Fell back through the other side
Black globes, old symbols of freedom
Saada Tekmel
On a great silver beltway
Up in the north, the ice gave out
In my Styrofoam coffin
On a gravity halo
Walked into the winter
Came out on the other side
I slept with that dealer all summer
Cities encircled in iron
Short sleeves in the winter
