lyrics

Another life. Another time zone entirely.
Those of us who up and left,
Never to return again.
Who could really blame us then?
The local scene was dead.

Lovers, friends, parents, and Congresswomen.
These are whom I leave behind.
Celebrated in my mind
For carrying the desert’s weight
Until it breaks.

It will break.
And when it breaks,
You may not break,
But it will break.
It will burn.
We’ll return,
And we will thirst,
And it will burn.
Smoke will rise.
We’ll catch our flights.
From the sky,
I’ll spy the Mission
Burnished white
As the palm trees fry
And the cacti cry
With everlasting life.

But the homes down south weren’t so lucky.
And the lives up north weren’t so lucky.
Your folks on the east side are tending their property,
And my mother is in the backyard feeding everything remaining.
