lyrics

Remake the Stars

The impulse and desire
To see the funeral pyre
There shoulda been a ship burning out on the waters out to sea
Instead of ashes in this little box you see

Shoulda, coulda, woulda
We made the stars

The lathe and the press
The rock and the rail
The world just gets older and stale
People die
In this jail

The impulse and desire
To see the funeral pyre
There shoulda been a ship burning out at sea
Instead of ashes in this little box you see

Terrible time
Dead dictionaries and
Rotten self-rituals and
Half-truths and lies

You assume an awful lot
Do you really know that much
The clock is still broken but
You want to argue about the time

Too late
Too late

Shoulda, coulda, woulda
We made the stars
Shoulda, coulda, woulda
Remake the stars

The lathe and the press
The rock and the rail
The world just gets older and stale
People die
In this jail

Carry my bones down to the sea and
Bury them behind where I used to be
Among the dunes and the sea

Carry my bones down to the sea and
Bury them behind where I used to be
Among the dunes and the sea, and the sea

Carry my bones down to the sea
Bury them behind where I used to be
Among the dunes and the sea
Among the dunes and the sea and
Bury them behind where I used to be

Carry my bones
Carry my bones
