about

City of indifference and ambiguity and plans unrealized.

lyrics

sausages sizzle on box metal carts
hang an invitation over the park
it's a city of indifference, abiguity,
city of plans unrealized
where the kids play with sticks
and balloon vendors honk their horns
old bicycle horns

woman dries her face with a yellow towel
old man lights candles and cuts out paper dolls
city of indifference and ambiguity
and plans unrealized
beside the television
underneath the crucifix
between these loose walls
leaning over dirt floors
strung together with rope
the weight of drying clothes
keeps the walls from falling outward
opening up the house
revealing all its secrets
where a child draws a cactus
cause it looks like a balloon
against the sky, against the sea
where someone set it free

singing in her white dress
ringing tiny bells
communion wafer it's all intangible
