Lyrics

Bilingual
Green world, love the chloroform
Front porch in the thunderstorm
Controlled chaos, confused energy
ย
Stop reading the weather charts
Stop counting the playing cards
There's no system, there's no guarantees
That the love you feel you carry inside can be passed
But you try, I know you do, you still talk to your plants
Ask how are you getting on, alone?
Some wander the wilderness
Some drink cosmopolitans
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes
I can't tell where the canvas stops
Homesick as an astronaut
Just keep drifting but still can't explain
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
ย
See a brother in the gutter you reach out your hand
Ask how are you getting on, alone?
ย
What gage measures miracles?
And whose heartbeat's electrical?
We feign sickness with our modern joy
ย
But even western medicine
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
Bad bone marrow, a bald little boy
ย
But the love we feels he carries inside can be passed
ย
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye said, comeback
Where are you going to alone?
Where are you going all alone?
