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