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
