To Trains To Street

lyrics

we cleared the slums for 75 and light industry
donned mutton chops and muskets to drive out the Shawnee
from rainy islands on wings of violence
we were a plague the stars had sent

gods caught in twilight dances with us mere mortals
jutting chins entombed in rookwood and marble
7 hills for 7 railroads
but trains only cycle round
streets to heaven bend back down through smoggy air

trawl the river
see what's down there
drown your doubtin'
in whispering fountains
drain the Mill Creek
"to trains - to street"

out goes the post on the old motor coach
bearing Dear Johns to boys in the war
stoagies in boardrooms, jade slimlines and minks
Saturn's rings on our fingers

in the telephone booth where i learned the truth
eventide crawled from the floor to the roof
when the soul with it goes, pray it doesn't stay close,
speeding up through the heavens and back 'cross the centuries -

trawl the river
for loot and plunder
scan the night sky
for gold and thunder
drain the Mill Creek
see what's in there

Kenyon-Barr; we are only slightly sorry
even now for how our fingers dipped in blood
we beseech thee, your space-age majesty -
"don't let us be forgotten"
