Weakerthans, The - Fallow lyrics

Wait till the day says it is closing,
and public is put away.
Write by the light of a pay phone,
your list of "I meant to say".
Like "Winter comes too soon",
or "Radiators hum out of tune".
Out under the Disraeli,
with rusty train track ties,
we will carve new streets & sidewalks,
a city for small lives,
and say that we will stay for one more yeahr.
Wait near the end of September.
Wait for some stars to show.
Try so hard not to remember,
what all empty playgrounds know,
that sympathy is cruel.
Reluctant jester or simpering fool.
But six feet off the highway,
our bare legs stung with wheat,
we will dig a hole & bury all we couldn´t defeat,
and say that we will stay for one more yeahr.
Bend to tie a shoelace,
or bend against your fear,
and say that you will stay for one more yeahr.
With so much left to seek,
the lease runs out next week.
