Song : How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us
(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
Blood
from a stone
Water from wine
Born under
earplay design
A stroke of bad luck,
Wrong
place, wrong time
This flyer is out of the
lime
(chorus)
The story is a sad one,
told many times
The story of my life in trying
times
Just add water, stir in lime
How the
west was won and where it got us
Canary
got trapped, the uranium mine
A stroke of bad
luck, now the bird has died
A marker to mark
where my tears run dry
I cross it, bless it,
alkali
(repeat chorus)
I didn't
wear glasses cause I thought it might rain
Now
I can't see anything
I made a mistake, chalked
it up to design
I cracked through time, space,
Godless and dry
I point my nose to the northern
star,
Watch the decline from a hazy
distance
(repeat chorus)
