Somewhere from the mortar
They saved you from far away labels
Eternity means nothing
But a sign on a bridge
When everyone's a stranger
They call for you by your first name
And laugh at jokes you once made
When you were a kid
Somewhere down the barrel
Lies a bullet that I can't keep
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all it's in my head
I'm not a slave to a desperate lust
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all
Screaming limitations fall silent on New York corners
A terrorist's a prisoner, and a tourist a thief
When paintings seem like bargains but they're nothing but wallpaper
I'm plagued by small town fascists like a rash on my skin
Somewhere down the barrel
Lies a bullet that I can't keep
And I've been searching for something in the distance
After all it's in my head
I'm not a slave to an unborn child
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all
After all
After all
