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

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