Lyrics
Feel it rising from the suburbs
Feel it falling on dumb ears
Feel it trembling in excitement
Feel its face dampened by tears.
Hear it crying in the wilderness
Hear it sighing in the trees
Hear it flying over the city
Hear it trying to overcome.
See it turning in its agony
See it burning at the stake
See it learning to be innocent
See it scorning all the fakes.
Taste its bitter scorn of emptiness
Taste its sour flowing cream
Taste its angry cry of outrage
Taste the chaotic angel’s scream.
Smell the stench of guilty history
Smell the threatening hint of fear
Smell the scent of fractured laughter
Smell the concrete cowboy’s leer.
Feel it falling on dumb ears
Feel it trembling in excitement
Feel its face dampened by tears.
Hear it crying in the wilderness
Hear it sighing in the trees
Hear it flying over the city
Hear it trying to overcome.
See it turning in its agony
See it burning at the stake
See it learning to be innocent
See it scorning all the fakes.
Taste its bitter scorn of emptiness
Taste its sour flowing cream
Taste its angry cry of outrage
Taste the chaotic angel’s scream.
Smell the stench of guilty history
Smell the threatening hint of fear
Smell the scent of fractured laughter
Smell the concrete cowboy’s leer.
