Bass: Geoff Pawlikowski

lyrics

You play the poet I’ll play the muse
We’ll put music to the nightly news
And every night we’ll sing the blues
Merrily ‘cuz life is but a dream

This river’s vast and hard to cross
With us on foot and them on horse
Unless we drowned, we’ll stay the course
Merrily ‘cuz life is but a dream

gather round we’ll dance and sing
with iron lungs and tethered wings
rosin up your titanic violin
strum it as we round the drain again
I know where we’re going while we spin

we’ve less to lose but more at stake
we’ll make each breath the last we take
make war out of the love we make
merrily cuz life is but a dream

and should we drift too far from shore
we’ll still obey the pecking order
they’ll peck holes and we’ll bail water
merrily cuz life is but a dream

gather round we’ll dance and sing
like fallen queens and fallen kings
rosin up your titanic violin
strum it as we round the drain again
I know where we’re going while we spin

when tired bodies come to rest
new life forms in their swirling dust
we’ll wear a noose with our sunday best
til they kick the chair from under us
we’ll let the current carry us
merily cuz life is but a dream

gather round we’ll dance and sing
with iron lungs and tethered wings
all the fucking saints go marching in
laughing as we round the drain again
I know where we’re going while we spin
I know where we’re going while we spin
we live between the kicked chair and the cord
quickening to its end
