Benediction (Live) - The Weakerthans[00:00:00]
So you don't get to be a saint[00:00:24]
Martyrs never last this long[00:00:29]
Guess I'll never be the one to defeat desire in song[00:00:34]
Here's a marker here's my naked skin our Exhibit A[00:00:43]
Put a small x where I lost my way[00:00:53]
All the actors broke their legs[00:01:03]
And it's too late to postpone[00:01:07]
The producer's getting high[00:01:12]
And the audience went home[00:01:17]
Smile and take your awkward bow[00:01:22]
Turn and stumble off the stage[00:01:27]
Let the rain be your applause[00:01:31]
Every encore soothe your rage[00:01:36]
Squint with one eye hum a show-tune[00:01:41]
And wait for your ride to say[00:01:45]
"Oh that's where you must have lost your way"[00:01:51]
Megaphones in helicopters squeal [00:02:20]
"Hey are you okay "[00:02:26]
As searchlights circle where we lost our way[00:02:29]
All our accidents went purposeful and fell[00:02:39]
Stripped of providence or any way to tell[00:02:49]
That our intentions were intangible and sweet[00:02:58]
Sick with simple math and shy discoveries[00:03:08]
Piled up against our impending defeat[00:03:14]
