Periphery Waltz - Jolie Holland[00:00:00]
When the supreme authorities of our culture[00:00:29]
Tell us to get down on our knees[00:00:37]
And beg for salvation from some divinity[00:00:40]
Is it any wonder there are people[00:00:49]
Begging on the street for salvation from poverty[00:00:54]
Well it's no surprise to me it's no surprise to me[00:01:03]
I left my home in the church[00:01:15]
I left my home in the suburbs to wander[00:01:19]
I did it all for my dreams and the star[00:01:28]
That I followed fell from the periphery[00:01:33]
And the street lights slipping down[00:01:41]
My windshield fell like falling stars[00:01:44]
Down a dark country road[00:01:53]
I first left my home when I was seventeen[00:01:56]
And I paid my respects to my fellow rejects[00:02:04]
But I tended to wander alone like I was listening[00:02:10]
To the words of a song whispered soft and low[00:02:19]
It's kind of like dancing[00:02:28]
It's kind of like losing your mind[00:02:32]
And I've often considered[00:02:40]
The impractibility of my life[00:02:44]
And the moon behind the clouds is ill defined[00:02:52]
I got lost so many times but I could not[00:03:04]
Be consigned to a fate of obsolescence[00:03:12]
And decline so I'll take the chance again[00:03:22]
And the mockingbird is my friend[00:03:34]
When he sings a song in the warm midnight wind[00:03:40]
So I'll follow my old tune and I'll wish you good morning[00:03:51]
