I waited for you in the faculty lounge
No threats are made, it’s all forgotten now
And kids we pass by are waving to us
All in the spirit of the revolution

You ask me how we can build a monument
A body that is solid and calm
A body that is humble and pure
I stood with my bare hands and blocks of concrete 
And I waited for the spirit of the revolution

I left the papers on the floor and left the bed unmade 
And went down into the street to be with everyone
Beneath the lights, beneath the wires

With the sorrowful orchestras and this 
Taste like when you were six years old

Then the sun burst out on a clearing in the park
It was calling out the creatures of  the dark
They’ve been starving for years beneath the surface
Now they’re crowding all the bodies of the revolution

And I walked beside you as the crowd it went away
And I walked beside you on that second day
Through craters and gardens, speak to me softly
You see, I want you in the spirit of the revolution

We gathered flowers for the chosen one
We lift him up, we replace his eyes with sapphires
But he’s the same
But he’s the same
Torn apart within
But such beautiful skin
Pulled from the fire

And I waited for you in the faculty lounge
No threats are made, it’s all forgotten now
And I took my bike to the waterfront reservoir
I tried, tried, tried to wrap my arms around 
The strangest notion of my fat body 
On the verge of some kind of revolution
