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

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