grab my winter coat and leave the door unlocked
I'll be back before you know I'm gone
cutting through the sidestreets with the alleycats
and missing dogs
whispers from the reservoir have kept me up
buzzing lights impersonate the sun
missives from the landfill to the west of town
frozen condensation in my lungs
and I will be back when the spell is cast
I'll breeze through your door with my heart intact
the crystals that form on the inside of
our windows will fracture and come apart
I'm waiting I'm waiting for sun
the life of the world yet to come

Francesco (Bug's Song)

Franceso is the mayor of a city by the shore its
on the southern tip of Italy known for tuna fish and tourists
he books a meeting, sends an email, poses for the local paper
one more email, has that meeting, off to dinner with his neighbors
that's Francesco
Francesco, he was named after a saint called Padre Pio
who reportedly fought demons, claimed he parlato con dio
He says a prayer, goes to mass, and poses with a little wafer
one more prayer, one more sip of wine then pranzo with his neighbors
that's Francesco
And though he’s not producing miracles or guiding wayward spirits homes
I wonder if Francesco thinks about it
yeah, I wonder if Francesco thinks about it.
But in March of 241 BC the Roman and Phoenician Fleets
began a battle in the sea just off the coast of Sicily
So many bodies on the beach, they turned it red, now theirs to keep
they built a tower on the hill, passed back and forth through history
The Romans and Aragonese, the Normans and the Genoese
but now it's ruled by Angelo who runs the gift shop at its feet
and now I think about that abandoned fort
the bodies stacked on that bloody shore
how long it took to clear the port
2000 years of tug of war
Now long after the Fall of Rome
An office chair usurps the throne
A modern mayor scrawls his name on
permits for a loading zone
It hasn’t always been this way
it hasn’t always been this way
and I wonder if Francesco thinks about it
yeah I wonder if Francesco thinks about it
