Lyrics
Tessellate
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.
And all the boys who called their mothers on that day
Were no tough bunch but they had the nerve to go and say
That all your secrets have drowned
with the pioneers who were flooded from this town
They packed their bags only moments too late
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates
Dire times call for dire faces
So lovely dancer calling dancer
Trade our places in the night
We're running barefoot you and I
Dead lovers salivate
Broken hearts tessellate... tonight
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old schoolyard fence
Were holding out for posterity and self defense
We beat them down again
There's no fun in playing cowboys for pretend
We showed them what the backs of our hands were for
The divide is clear in the coming year
The rich will take the poor
Dire times call for dire faces
So lovely dancer calling dancer
Trade our places in the night
We're running barefoot you and I
Dead lovers salivate
Broken hearts tessellate... tonight
