How you gonna sing a song that runs

From the mouth of where the singing comes

From the mouth of where the song is sung

Do you call a setting sun a sun rising?

How you gonna get the soil and the glory

When you want to be a harvester of light

But the soil only turns under the moon's shitty story?

There may be churches burning down next year

If I'm a city then my citizens will pass no pails along

There may be temples of temptation to take refuge in, my dear

If I'm a city then my citizens will cast a vote

As to where you pray vs. what you're praying for

And what you love vs. what you bow before

And where you beg and what you're begging for
