lyrics

Pushing his wheelchair with his feet
Over the glow of painted parking lines
Mercedes and Porsches pull into eat
Shouting Russian in a line
Like in the House of Meetings
You met in your prime

It’s all
Go-wherever-you-want-now-to-go
And you go there
And constantly
And never slow
For something you wanted
That now you don’t know
Though you’ll remember
Any second now

And all of this freedom
Is all beside the point
When the limbs in your mind
Bend on broken joints
Sometimes Russian Christ
Leans out to anoint you
But only gives you coins

Purple gold invades the night
And you finally walk
Your wheelchair home
And lie down in the LA heat
Until you learn to sleep
With the tundra in your bones

And your dreams
Go wherever they want now to go
And it’s always to the bed
Where she lay waiting for
Something you wanted
That now you don’t know
But you’ll remember
Any second now

Because all of that freedom
Was all beside the point
When the limbs in your body
Had broken joints
She was Russian Christ leaned out
To anoint you
When you were
Already gone
Gone
You were gone
