Bring Our Curses Home
Stray shards of vinyl siding
Hit the windshield coming down
On the gridlocked freeway
Headed for Houston out of town
We were sad to see it sinking
Up on the Jumbotron
Balconies in higher places
Gone, gone, gone
Young Romans at the city wall
Scavenging for scraps
Riding out the amnesia
Filling in the gaps
Grab hold of my hammer
Try to bring down the Superdome
On that rainy day
When I bring my curses home
Water floods the pharmacy
People sliding down the aisle
Emerging into the moonlit night
All smiles, all smiles
Wished I was down there with them
Reaching for that third rail
Saw them on the TV though
As they herded them down to jail
That night someone brought some shoes in
From Los Angeles or Portland I forget
Mad scramble for the boxes
Everything got wet
Wingless, broken insects
Trapped in honeycomb
On that wasteful day
When I bring my curses home
Hit the windshield coming down
On the gridlocked freeway
Headed for Houston out of town
We were sad to see it sinking
Up on the Jumbotron
Balconies in higher places
Gone, gone, gone
Young Romans at the city wall
Scavenging for scraps
Riding out the amnesia
Filling in the gaps
Grab hold of my hammer
Try to bring down the Superdome
On that rainy day
When I bring my curses home
Water floods the pharmacy
People sliding down the aisle
Emerging into the moonlit night
All smiles, all smiles
Wished I was down there with them
Reaching for that third rail
Saw them on the TV though
As they herded them down to jail
That night someone brought some shoes in
From Los Angeles or Portland I forget
Mad scramble for the boxes
Everything got wet
Wingless, broken insects
Trapped in honeycomb
On that wasteful day
When I bring my curses home
