lyrics

There’s a full moon glowing over
The ocean & I’m still alive
They’re catching something in the Basin
& the nets are full of lies—
Well call the doctor! we’re all fainting, we’re all scratching at the door
There’s a whistle in the wind that I have never heard before…

Could you sing out Hallelujah
before you fall to sleep?
I’ve been praying, afraid the fallout is silently about to creep
& the sickness that we bury in the closets, in the dark
is taking shape & growing fingers…another lynching in the park.

Call me Moses or call me crazy, I have heard it all before,
chop a tree down, shoot the sheriff, or whoever is keeping score,
cut the lights out, Tchoupitoulas, just be ready, be prepared
there’s no need to be embarrassed, everyone I know gets scared
Reach your hand out, I will kiss it, pull you up onto the train,
but don’t worry if you miss it, I promise I’ll be back again
