Lyrics
Vaccination Scar
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.
So, the chemistry's set
And I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word
For the gang in the head
That dwindles to no members when
The mystery's met
The sky looks threatened, heading home in the dust
Singing "life is for getting
good enough for the frivolous"
One thing I remember is
This tear on your bare shoulder, this
Little silver boulder
This slowly falling star
We're rolling, so what
Never getting older, where the moon-shocked curtains part
At the start of enough
A tear dropped in a vaccination scar
I'll tell you if I'm able, that is
I'll tell you like it is
It went down like a bad card table, like
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Swimming on a bit
Stop and treading water as the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire
Burning down to embers' end
The mystery met
The sky just-reddened, heading home under dusk
Is life just forgetting
Another word for frivilous
And little silver boulders
And silence from Mars
For the heart of enough
For a tear dropped in a vaccination scar
Wherever you are
Scar.
