lyrics

I was thinking of a sweet song sung by swinging a pitchfork prong
Sung by waking at the crack of dawn to walk along the sea

I was dreaming of a hot wind through a forest full of kindling
When a silent bolt of lightning lit a fire beneath my feet

You were mixing up a miracle screaming Im a train whistle
Careening like a cruise missile toward a private beach

Where we went whistling round the blue sea turning oceans into memories
Turning me into photography a journalist so free

When we begin, we enter in a blindly banging dissonance
In Mexican Photographs we can be parachute tramps and pick place to land

Picture please these green seas, or the train conductor screaming
Scrambling on your knees up white cliffs and dust

What a thought to think of us alone like a cabin built of bones
Like a hearth without a home a cathedral full of rust.

When we begin in death my friend to understand all of our suffering
And enter in at long at last we can be parading tramps and pick a place to dance
We are parachute tramps
We are parachute tramps
We are parachute tramps
We are parachute tramps
We’ll pick a place to dance
We’ll pick a place to dance
We’ll pick a place to dance
We’ll pick a place to dance
