Up Again

We Laugh At Danger and Break All the Rules

Up Again


It Was a Birthday Gift of a Mexican Telecaster That From This Day On 
I Will Play Along to All My Young Pioneers Records 
And There Will Be a Poetry Spoken Silently Between Me and the Stereo 
I'll Work Mornings and You Can Work Through the Night

Mary, There Is no Hope For Us 
If This G.m. Van Don't Make It Across the State Line 
We Might As Well Lay Down and Die 
Because If Florida Takes Us 
We're Taking Everyone Down With Us 
Where We're Coming From Will Be the Death of Us!

And I Cannot Help But Hold On to a Handful of Times 
When What Was Spoken Was a Revolution in Itself 
And What We Were Doing Was the Only Thing That Mattered 
And How Good It Felt to Kill the Memory 
Of Nights Spent Holding Your Shirt For the Smell 
I Heard You Used to Cry When You Made Love to Him 
But This Band Will Play On 
Because All We Can do Is What We've Always Done 
And On and On and Onanonanona...

Mary There Is no Hope For Us 
If This G.m. Van Don't Make It Across the State Line 
We Might As Well Lay Down and Die 
Because If Florida Takes Us 
We're Taking Everyone Down With Us 
Where We're Coming From Will Be the Death of Us!
