lyrics

RENAISSANCE

I stepped out into sunshine
What do you think I saw?
The whole Carnal Carnival
Frozen in the spirit of a song

Broken Down
Your body in the light
You feel you've got nothing to say so you fall down and pray
But you've been right all along 'till now

It pulls at my eyes
The way a word can taste like thunder
Old iron bit in your mouth
In autumn you know something's gone
And you can't turn your head to look back
No matter how you try

The Blood of Suffering
Will melt into poetry
Still the court fools wait to know
The frescoed ceiling has come down

But I am Malleable
I suffer a loneliness of another kind

Bring me to that new religion
A Renaissance of the heart and the mind
When all the pulpits are empty
Not the poor nor the gentry must kneel to pay homage

Have you ever heard a tantric word
And let it cut you too the bone?
How do you plead? –I don't believe you
Standing in the presence of something that you and I
Both once knew

Gonna get on up now
Get on your feet yeah
Gonna get goin' now
Gonna get faster now
Gonna get careful now
Gonna get braver now
Gonna get stronger now
Gonna get louder now
Gonna get wiser now
Gonna get softer now
Gonna get higher
Take it up now
Get it together now
Get it together, yeah
Come on, together now

From the steep of the deadly drop
Down to the feet of your lover
Before the pillars of your life
Atop the pillars of our lives
Get on up, my darling

Downtown by the station
A cold wind hurries me along
That's when I hear another
Playing his only song

I realize, I realize
The masterpiece and the sound
You are one and so am I
One ear to our hearts and one to the ground
