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

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