The Great Dominions
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Suddenly
I came to my senses
A night on fire
Put out
All traces of feeling
I'm
Only concerned with
Looking concerned
I don't want to get my laces burned
We talked for hours
Except for the fainting
We seemed so enchanted
But now
My expression is changing
See
See for yourself I'm
Run down by a train
I stand back from a shark attack
And it's all the same
I should have known
You'd seek my opinion
From all over the country
And out
To the great dominions
Careful
Some of the blunders of history
Have been made that way
I'm still stuck in this
Pickle jar
On a paper carpet
Mummy I've been fighting again
