The Weakerthans - Benediction lyrics
So you don't get to be a saint Martyrs never last this long Guess I'll never be the one To defeat desire in song Here's a marker Here's my naked skin Our 'exhibit A' Put a small x where I lost my way All the actors broke their legs And it's to late to postpone The producer's getting high And the audience went home Smile and take your awkward bow Turn and stumble off the stage Let the rain be your applause Every encore sooth your rage Squint with one eye Hum a show-tune wait for your right to say oh that's where you must have lost your way Megaphones in helicopters squeal “hey are you okay?? Searchlights circle, where we lost our way All our accidents were purposeful and felt Stripped of providence or any way to tell But our intentions were intangible and sweet Sick with simple math and shy discoveries Piled up against our impending defeat. |
