Coat Check Dream Song lyrics

Shrill as a choir of children

Urgent like the first day of May

False and inflatable feeling

Tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade

One brick on top of another

Such is the measure of man

Planets are inset like diamonds

On a gravity halo, eternity's wedding band

I slept with that dealer all summer

The ecstasy is still in my spine

Coat Check I couldn't remember

Walked into the winter, came out on the other side

In the South the sun is shining

Back in the East the lights went out

Stuck on a ladder to heaven

On trial way back in The Hague

Lullaby sounds from the engine

In my Styrofoam coffin, asleep on the interstate

Black globes, old symbols of freedom

A murderer still on the lam

Cities encircled in iron

On a great silver beltway, democracy's shackled hands

Séance that brought us together

Objects we move with our minds

Coat Check and I lost the number

Short sleeves in the winter, fell back through the other side

Out in the West the cars are crashing

Up in the North the ice gave out

Saada Tekmel B'Lhouria...

Houria...
