lyrics

Let's raise the dead for an evening comrade exhume us a new world of good our old friends have all been frightened into doing what they think they should those left by good grace have made an art of escape escape artist Houdini fake oh their best inside jokes are just mirrors and smoke no stance in their dance no romance no no chance to take ain't a clown in this town that is hopeful comrade the kids are their own marketplace give me anyone who can make their own fun by groping toward a brighter place I watch from the bar-dust of old Pleasant Street the weekenders out all dressed up costumed as anyone but themselves are they scared of what's there is what there just not enough let's raise a seance for the youth-ghost comrade a handshake from beyond the grave with no ass to kiss I've a short thank-you list imagine all the time I can save have we grown uptight on our scene's cellulite no patience no time for heroes even gas money kindness even duct tape and fliers even rightness can be says we a selling point too even rightness says we can be hipster-cred too even rightness says we can be a commodity too.
