lyrics

Four lanes, four lanes of memory merging into new histories
Someone will form an ideology from them
Maudlin reports that had you dead at eight and revived by nine
Skirt the filthy walls
Wipe your hand on your gown
There is no clean route home
This is no time to act alone

Her last salute to Duke for his comic overture
About a Welsh town overrun by six white goats
Unlike most masked impatients, he died mid-sentence
Saying, "you plump the pillows, I'll supply the jokes"
Still viral blossoms in the longest corridor
The traitor who brought lillies will have to learn
Our minister keeps us plied with unsound advice
And a thoughtful stream of empty urns
Ask to be interred with peat and loam
This is no time to act alone

Two lanes, two lanes of history fading into cold purgatory
Someone might watch over you...just not me
The time travel reports had you admitted at three
And long dead by four
Skirt the blood-spotted walls
Wipe the tears on your gown
For there is no safe route home
This is no time to act alone
