assimilation blues - sara renberg lyrics

[verse 1]
you should put this in your zine
moms dressing their kids up as salads for halloween
the robots at the coffee shop have thirteen programmed grins
and the churches look like airports and the airports look like prisons

[chorus]
and i’m afraid of how easily it ceases to be weird
and i wanna find a way to stay awake that isn’t fear

[verse 2]
once upon a time there was a sorceress*slash*dean
who could see the constellations through the orange and purple sheen
she’d write up the week’s horoscopes and mail them to new york
and we’d read them in the paper but we couldn’t check her work

[chorus]
i go out to the lake on evenings when i feel alone
and i pick a distant point and pretend i can see the smoke

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
tell me what’s happening tonight in constantine
who bought rum? who got one? who ran out of gasoline?
when questions turn to iron and the iron turns to rust
it doesn’t take long for the bottom to fall out of trust
[chorus]
and i know it’s not possible to go back to who we’ve been
but i’m afraid of who we’ll be when we get where we are going
i’m afraid of who i’ll be when i get where i am going
