lyrics

Talismans on fishing wire
Are hanging in the breeze
Pass your sieve into the wind
And see what you believe

When I arrive at Afterlife
Surprise is what’s in store
Had a lifetime to prepare
Couldn’t get to it before

Ghosts can’t make a shadow
So can’t you at noon
Jesus made a pedestrian
In Lazarus’s tomb

But who made you?

Housetops on the sweeping flood
Like a fleet of wigs
Sky is cut to ribbons
By tips of sparrows wings

Eyeballs jumping under lids
Like rabbits while you sleep
Follow them to bolt holes
Of desire and deceit

Ochre makes an Indian
Birches make canoes
Sign along the high road
Is Hill Blocks View

But who made you?

White-out on the flattop
Swelter in the camp
Is the one who made the weather
The one who made the lamb?

A little drop of blood
No wider than a tear
Confirms and contradicts
About you everything I fear

Lightning made splinters
Of the masts of the Montague
The lookout’s head is spotted red

But who made you?
