Verse
Dm Gm
I am a refugee now, I am running like mad
C F A
across a frosty green Poland, my head in a sack.
Dm Gm
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]
Dm Gm
Who is so grey with the history, rain dancing all
C F A
on my face without mercy and the muscles relax.
Dm Gm
And I just have to laugh through the loose teeth and tissue,
C F A
the symphony builds under your boot.
[Verse 3]
Dm Gm
And the horns drool in harmony, dancers all swoon,
C F A
this is my bloody tune, my last gasp of the past.
Dm Gm
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]
Dm Gm
Alive like a thornbush that grew in the hot
C F A
countryside, now the fire is high and I am not
Dm Gm
consumed. Yes, this is the room,
C F A
this is the old song from memory, this is the sound of the
Dm Gm C F A
Jew who refuses to die.
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Dm Gm
April 4th, 1944,
C F A
I recall my old address no more.
Dm Gm
I live day to day on the glossy dancefloor
C F A
of a wide countryside full of disappeared people.
[Verse 6]
Dm Gm
I sleep in the churches, eat grass like a goat,
C F A
the calendar hangs on the wall of my memory.
Dm Gm
My name is inscribed up the sleeve of my coat,
C F A
here I am.
[Interlude]
| Dm | Gm | C | F A |
[Verse 7]
Dm Gm
Take this document with you, the lines that I wrote
C F A
as I bled through the night in a strange rusted land.
Dm Gm
I have ripped the page out, it is here in my hand,
C F A
here I am.
[Verse 8]
Dm Gm
Person of the book but I have lost my page
C F A
like so many others I am left to inscribe
Dm Gm
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]
Dm Gm
of signatures scrawled in forgotten, lost diaries,
C F A
texts to recite when time's bloody boot, dances
Dm Gm
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]
Dm Gm
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.
[Outro]
