Verse
Bm Em
I am a refugee now, I am running like mad
A D F#
across a frosty green Poland, my head in a sack.
Bm Em
And the blood in my brain screaming "How did this happen?"
A D F#
and "Where am I now?" Who is so blue in this freeze?
[Verse 2]
Bm Em
Who is so grey with the history, rain dancing all
A D F#
on my face without mercy and the muscles relax.
Bm Em
And I just have to laugh through the loose teeth and tissue,
A D F#
the symphony builds under your boot.
[Verse 3]
Bm Em
And the horns drool in harmony, dancers all swoon,
A D F#
this is my bloody tune, my last gasp of the past.
Bm Em
My thorn in the side of the violence of time,
A D F#
I won't scream, I won't writhe, I am laughing and burning.
[Verse 4]
Bm Em
Alive like a thornbush that grew in the hot
A D F#
countryside, now the fire is high and I am not
Bm Em
consumed. Yes, this is the room,
A D F#
this is the old song from memory, this is the sound of the
Bm Em A D F#
Jew who refuses to die.
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Bm Em
April 4th, 1944,
A D F#
I recall my old address no more.
Bm Em
I live day to day on the glossy dancefloor
A D F#
of a wide countryside full of disappeared people.
[Verse 6]
Bm Em
I sleep in the churches, eat grass like a goat,
A D F#
the calendar hangs on the wall of my memory.
Bm Em
My name is inscribed up the sleeve of my coat,
A D F#
here I am.
[Interlude]
| Bm | Em | A | D F# |
[Verse 7]
Bm Em
Take this document with you, the lines that I wrote
A D F#
as I bled through the night in a strange rusted land.
Bm Em
I have ripped the page out, it is here in my hand,
A D F#
here I am.
[Verse 8]
Bm Em
Person of the book but I have lost my page
A D F#
like so many others I am left to inscribe
Bm Em
my own name on a torn one we will have a new book
A D F#
scattered far across the expanses. The scrapbook
[Verse 9]
Bm Em
of signatures scrawled in forgotten, lost diaries,
A D F#
texts to recite when time's bloody boot, dances
Bm Em
and kicks in the bone of our chest, like soft earth
A D F#
and our ancient hoarse voices will echo in song.
[Verse 10]
Bm Em
And resound off the curve of a high stony ceiling,
A D F#
the curve of the arch from our death to our [Outro] birth.
[Outro]
