lyrics

I wandered in your garden trampled on your cup of
children so unwanted have a place but not for

Hung by the skin of their teeth, they could see nothing of
Buried by a barren breeze, I'd plant these seeds if not for
Young dreams, so unseen, sailing on a sea of seams
monsters lurk beneath the deep telling us who belong to these

lines
lines on the mirror
lines in the ceiling and the wall
lines in the water and the soil
lines on the pavement
lines in the steeple and the hall
lines that separate us all

stretched limousines and all those plastic modeled queens
these demons so unwanted have a place but not for
Old dreams, so obscene sailing on a sea of seams
water, over, underneath reflecting who will conquer these

Will we crush this carapace
or hide behind the mountains that we face
bound up with these

lines on the mirror
lines in the ceiling and the wall
lines in the water and the soil
lines for the lion
lines for the weevil and the mole
lines for the bread and for the oil
lines on the pavement
lines in the steeple and the hall
lines that separate us all
