lyrics

lyrics by Ethan Nickerson
music by The Mines

Beyond the patterns and the poetry
Beyond the characters and scenes that never change
There’s more than karma watching over me,
But all the details leave me feeling kind of strange

Another night, walking the streets of outer space
A satellite, doomed to repeat and doomed to trace

The crack of morning cuts inside the eye
The pulse continues though the flesh is dry
And it’s kind of like an arrested heart,
Where something must be wrong,
But deeper in we find a part
That cries another song

Another night, walking the streets of outer space
A satellite, doomed to repeat and doomed to trace
But something isn’t right, there’s something I can’t exactly place
Hold me to the light, so I can finally end this chase

The streets are crying out for something more,
But I’m a vagrant begging for some change
We need some kind of hero for the poor,
But who?

Beyond the patterns and the poetry
Beyond the characters and scenes that never change...
