When the band played "Sally Cinnamon" It felt like 1991 again I didn't get into them too early in But I still got into them Right now that seems like it's the most important thing That's the thing about Gideon He knows just a little bit about so many things Knows too much about certain things Knows some guys who know some Latin Kings Right now, that seems like it's pretty much the only thing We're baby birds with broken wings and we sing Yeah, we sing unity songs but the scene's still splintered Yeah, we're stretched thin and we're stressed at the seams and we dream Yeah, we dream like screens but it's still out of focus Sure we know it's just show biz, but it still seems to surprise us When they hook us by the mouth and pull us up And then they try to fry us That's the thing about Charlemagne He got all washed up in the amber waves of grain Rubbed up on the bars on the bluff Got tangled up in the double dutch You know he drank too much He never really ate enough And it was so so sad with Charlie in his sick bed He looked like hell and smelled like chemicals Maxing out on medicine and feeling all invincible ICU at Regents Hospital It felt so cool with Holly at the bus stop Yeah, we could feel it coming through our arteries Running low on energy and nodding off in revelry Faded blues of Memphis, Tennessee Mississippi River always holds it all together We sing unity songs but the scene's still splintered We're stretched thin and we're stressed at the seams and we dream Yeah, we dream widescreen but we're still out of focus Sure we know it's just show biz Still seems to surprise us When they hook us by the mouth and pull us up And then they try to fry us We've done a pretty good job of frying ourselves I think Then she blows blasts of static into music from the big pink Stumbled into the foyer and pulled the bookshelf over And we were drowning in the literature Bram Stoker hit your head Ginsberg hit your dick A big black Bible hit your head And that's how we got born again
