Alsace Lorraine One Day Far Off If The World Forgot
One day far off, if the world forgot all about rock,
One day late in Summer camp with an 80 pound heart
One day then, the very dust we walk would rise and talk
We’d say,
‘We missed you, too
The blues weren’t enough to get us through’
One day far off, if the record grooves went dull and flat
One day far off, if we had no shoeboxes or rats
One day far off, if nothing inside us said attack
‘Come back
We missed you too
The blues weren’t enough to get us through’
One day far off, if all the guitars went down in flames
One day far off, if the old roles never rearranged
One day far off, if in our teenage years nothing changed
‘Come back.
We missed you, too
The blues weren’t enough to get us through’
One day far off, if the towering drums just folded in
No, bow, kneel, angel of death
One day far off, if we all went back to work again
Don’t lead, trail, angel of death
One day far off, something there would say it’s not the end
It’s not yours, you’re its
‘Come back.
We missed you, too
The blues weren’t enough to get us through’
One day, if there were no faint androgynerds to woo
One day, if these crowded streets were only safe and new
One day far off somewhere there’d be grass roots growing through
‘Come back.
We missed you, too
The blues weren’t enough to get us through’
