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
And the sky looks threatened
Heading home in the dusk
Singing, 'life is forgetting
Good enough for the frivolous'
One thing i remember is
This tear on your bare shoulder this
Little silver boulder this
Slowly falling star
Rolling so what
Never getting older
Where the moonshot 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
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 for getting
Another word for frivolous?
Or little silver boulder
Or silence from mars
For the heart of enough
For a teardrop in a vaccination scar?
