Song That I Heard

In the same reckless city
Where great Antonio died
On the island in the river
With the mountain at its side
I came to scatter ashes
Of the bridges I had burned
And to know the name
Of the song that I heard
Yeah, to know the name
Of the song I heard
Like a moonlight mathematician
Has attracted my concerns
And I multiplied my options
And divided my returns
Sacrificed the angel
Who was tugging at my shirt
I was already claimed by the song that I heard
Yeah already chained to the song I heard
From the corner of my eye
I caught the shadow of a girl
But my shoes were tied together
And my face was in the dirt
Pretend till I said everything
Before she said a word
I know I was changed by the song that I heard
Yeah I knew right away by the song I heard
In the cult of desperation
We stay just behind the curve
Knowing here at miss (?)
We’re getting more than we deserve
I was born a first child
She was born a third
We were already maimed by the songs that we heard
Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard
Did I make you out a phoenix
From the ashes of a bird
Did we build out our palace and
And watch it as it burned
It’s kind of like a lesson that
Has got to be unlearned
Like fool-maker
Fall-taker
Forsaker
Heartbreaker
Earth-quaker
Soul shaker
Soothsayer
Moon payer
Sun slayer
Yeasayer
Mistaker
Rattlesnaker
We are already changed
By the songs we heard
