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

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