lyrics

I am a humble bridge
I see the water pass
And all the little sailors
And all their little masts

Each day another party
Each night another dream
A chiropractic nightmare
A concrete trampoline
I’m not sure how I got here
Perhaps I’ll never know
But at least for now I’m standing
Although I stand alone

The wheel of time withstanding
Tin soldiers on a beat
I’m gonna be here for awhile
Until a better one’s complete

2017
Kosciuzko caused a coup
I look forward to a letter
I’d like to hear her point of view
Sometimes when it gets quiet
Three AM or so
I’m grateful to be standing
Although I stand alone

Oh I sink a little deeper
Everyday
The creatures in the harbor
Comfort me

I am a humble bridge
I see the water pass
A million little shipwrecks
You don’t have to do the math

A portion of the proceeds
Will go to keep you safe
Will keep my body sturdy
Will keep me wide awake
The radios are singing
A long discordant sound
And while the sun is burning
I hear them round and round and round
