lyrics

As the turnstiles turned, I broke into a run
Thought I saw a revolution but it hadn’t quite begun
By the water in a bottle there was a note from a man
Describing plans for a sailing ship

A draft card fire in a cast iron stove
Young, smiling couple eagerly waiting to elope
Blame it on the young ones, then pin it on the old
Grab hold of the unknown before we all get sold

And it’s a high and mighty price to pay
This ain’t no victory day - grey day
From the east bay, to the New York freeway

As the overpass passed over me
I wanted to break free from my surroundings
I could hear the murmuring
I could hear the churning
See books burning, people un-learning

Then the sky broke into and it started raining
The people feigning their disdaining feelings
All the lovers will kiss for the last time
As the sunshine disappears

And it’s a high and mighty price to pay
This ain’t no victory day - grey day
From the east bay, to the New York freeway
From the sea, to the sky
To the dirt buying the dead
From your feet up to your head
