An October Country
Our Lives Are Vaguely Familiar
The summer stained your lips the darkest berry hue When we got caught after our curfewAnd led to a wall stained dark redSuch cruelty to die without being fed Before the end we had remembered everything All the dreams forgot upon wakeningWe remembered who we had been We saw how our lives were back thenYou and me and all the people we wereYou were the minotaur and I was the mazeWe had lived in them good ol' Greek days We saw the first trickle of the mighty Nile We played with little Jesus when he was a childNow further back, go further backAll wild and furry, our fates decided by the furyOur home was an earthen tomb Our souls buried to bloom It seems that time ain't nothing but a womb You and me and all the people we wereWhat's the point of you and me if we keep meeting like this?They put a blindfold on and a cigarette in our mouthsWe hear the click of a chamber and an exploding sound We wake up and there ain't nothing but bedroom all aroundAnd for the lives of us we could not remember what we found
