verse 1 The flags on main street say You are one Are you one of us? verse 2 They hang in the exhaled air Of three thousand people sleeping Breathing deep, their eyes going round Coding messages Shedding messages The night before a parade Instrumental verse 3 Coyotes are lying down In their dens In their dens asleep verse 4 The half of each bird's brain That sleeps remains asleep The corn repeats Are you coding messages Are you burning messages Tonight before a parade Instrumental VERSE 5 The ghost inside the hall Moves from door to door Once again waiting, once again come VERSE 6 There's no more movies hung On a sheet in the park In the school parking lot until next year BRIDGE Your children will become Strangers to you They will love a picture of you More than you, every time you speak
