Alcove (each lonely, rainy, unwed) Lyrics

Can't tell if it's an ambulance

Or a hearse

One's black one's white I know

But sometimes they reverse

It's all been a dress rehearsal

Practice for the final reversal

You can raise the curtain

But the stage is gone

Can't call anything final

Cause the cycles all repeat

The raging waters flood the town

But then the waves retreat

Trash revealed by floods receding

Weary signs of life so fleeting

Letting go of something

Every day along the way

Can't live with the certainty that

Even the best

Every day by casual cruelty are possessed

I'm one with every worm

With every fern each slaughtered pig

Stride away from Bethlehem PA

To be born again

To be born again
