My belly bleeds from crawling the earth at the heels of beggars and thieves While chemical thought runs through my veins A wire from pole to pole to bring me your weighted speech It falls upon deaf ears for I cannot hear you now Speak to me, speak to me
For we are but men learning how to die And youth is like spring-time but winter is in sight So go ahead divide your grain; keep it in the cellar now But when winter arrives, who will stuff your lifeless mouth?
So wait for grace to grab you by the throat And we’ll sing “Glory” “Thy will be done over me”
