Po' Girl To The Morning
Sing oh we sing and we sing to the morning
We didn't think that it was coming
We didn't think it was ever coming back
Weak oh so weak we are weak but still willing
On hands and knees out of the stinking building
Into the yard sunlight shot through barbed wire
They're outlined in amber outlined in gold
Broad well-fed shoulders good strong thick clothes
Faces like children stricken by visons they can't explain
Sing oh we sing and we sing to the morning
We didn't think that it was coming we didn't think it was ever coming back
Yes we are visions terrible frightening but we are miracles struck by lightning
Struck by lightning left for dead but still moving
Hungry so hungry we're nothing but hunger
And there's a danger even in water
Chocolate can kill you when you've been starved
Sing oh we sing and we sing to the morning
We didn't think that it was coming
We didn't think it was ever coming back
Weak oh so weak we are weak but still willing
On hands and knees out of the stinking building
Into the yard sunlight shot through barbed wire
Run yes we run we run into the future
Memory runs faster tells us it's futile
The past is a tumor corrupting our lives
Sing oh we sing and we sing to the morning
We didn't think that it was coming we didn't think it was ever coming back
