Lyrics:
It's all I'm looking for These moments of opaque-eyed knocked-out rapture Helpless as a cow for the capture Chosen in a frozen instant Far away from the scabbed-out moment Far from the flick-flick-flick of the flatscreen Far from the poison power of cash Green cash reeking and heating the jetstream Oh, the shop-sweet breath, she is my daughter Daughter of the flashing instant Daughter of watching "Daughters of Darkness" On your parents' couch with your high-school boyfriend Spinning fevered in a hazy ditch We daughters of long hard skids on the 10-speed Daughters of July rips of the land speed Semi-freckled eternal thrasher Feather-haloed floating hair eye-flasher Floating like a fire in the distance Flashing like a flush to the skin And whispering like the wind through the rushes Oh no, external actor External actor You gotta hoist the high flag You gotta learn how to hang with the freaks and the hicks And the heat of the lot You gotta learn what is and what is not And you learn what isn't is not a lot To drain a tin beer Streaming cold in the fields Sun is up and the heat is relentless Dropping the rainbow rain on the canvas Calls her friends in the capital of cannabis Where the cops down the block And they circle and they stop And they circle and they stop And they stop and they circle And they stop, God help 'cause it's a lot And may God have mercy on the polyglot Oh no, external actor External actor A million miles across, the starlight Skip skip skip A wide long curve of spacedust melt around a star Keep shining in the cold Keep shining in the dark External actor Neighbor-loving, brother-loving Blanketing love of God above Sigh of the river far from shore Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more Silence and the voice don't speak any more
