Walk Like Thunder

Walk Like Thunder - Kimya Dawson (金雅·道森)[00:00:00]

I have this new tattoo of which the story must be told[00:00:23]

About the night I almost overdosed ten years ago[00:00:27]

I woke up in the hospital with skin clammy and cold[00:00:34]

And tubes in my urethra down my throat and up my nose[00:00:39]

My friends and the doctors were all shocked[00:00:44]

I wasn't dead[00:00:48]

That's when Katrina looked at me[00:00:50]

And this is what she said[00:00:53]

Walk like thunder[00:00:55]

Walk like thunder[00:01:01]

Walk like thunder[00:01:07]

Walk like thunder[00:01:13]

So I walked to the rebel spot[00:01:19]

I walked all over uptown[00:01:22]

I walked right side up and I walked upside down[00:01:25]

I walked to Chetzemoka with my eyes[00:01:31]

Fixed on the ground yeah[00:01:34]

We walked all over Chetze beach and[00:01:37]

Kept the rocks we found[00:01:40]

Then I walked back to my parents' house[00:01:42]

I walked back to my old bed yeah[00:01:45]

I walked back and I walked fast past[00:01:48]

All the voices in my head[00:01:51]

I walked with the sweats and[00:01:54]

I walked with the chills[00:01:57]

I walked in New York city and[00:01:59]

I walked in Bradford hills[00:02:02]

I walked into open mic nights and[00:02:05]

I walked into the rooms[00:02:09]

I walked feeling optimistic and[00:02:11]

I walked feeling doomed[00:02:14]

I walked with some mama's boys and[00:02:17]

I walked with some punks[00:02:20]

I walked dressed up like a rabbit[00:02:22]

I walked dressed up like a skunk[00:02:25]

I walked with some givers and[00:02:28]

I walked with some leeches[00:02:32]

I walked all by myself and[00:02:34]

I walked with the moldy peaches[00:02:37]

I walked all over the world so[00:02:40]

I could sing my songs to you[00:02:43]

And to your most desperate emails[00:02:46]

I said this is what I do[00:02:49]

I walk like thunder[00:02:52]

Walk like thunder[00:02:58]

Walk like thunder[00:03:04]

Walk like thunder[00:03:10]

But at some point I got so comfortable[00:03:16]

That I didn't even realize that[00:03:21]

I'd started to crawl[00:03:25]

That my old friend Amy died at[00:03:27]

37 of a heart attack[00:03:30]

And I cracked cause people my age[00:03:33]

Are not supposed to die like that[00:03:36]

No no no no people my age are not[00:03:39]

Supposed to die like that[00:03:42]

He was the old manager of the sidewalk cafe[00:03:45]

That place was a second home to me[00:03:50]

It's where I learned to play[00:03:54]

And his personality really helped create a space[00:03:56]

Where a bunch of honest misfits[00:04:02]

Could all gather and feel safe[00:04:05]

He was a cynic a supporter[00:04:08]

He was crazy he was queer[00:04:11]

He'd either yell out cut the bullshit[00:04:14]

Or he'd say I'm glad you're here[00:04:17]

And it was always such an honor[00:04:20]

To have Amy on my side[00:04:22]

That's why it hit me like a[00:04:25]

Mack truck when I found out that he died[00:04:28]

Yeah it hit me like a[00:04:31]

Mack truck when I found that he died[00:04:33]

Then enter Alex 33 years old and[00:04:37]

So sick with the cancer[00:04:41]

And trapped inside a body that[00:04:43]

Betrayed his real gender[00:04:46]

We all hoped and prayed that[00:04:49]

He would go into remission[00:04:51]

At least long enough just long[00:04:54]

Enough to complete his transition[00:04:57]

He said kimya did you know eleven[00:05:00]

Teen's my favorite song[00:05:04]

I said then get your a** on stage[00:05:06]

Right now and you can sing along[00:05:09]

That's the very first song I ever[00:05:12]

Wrote all by myself[00:05:16]

It's about angels and recovery and[00:05:18]

Friends and hope and health[00:05:21]

By the time we finished singing[00:05:24]

He was pissed off he was scared[00:05:27]

He said I lost my home my lover[00:05:30]

My insurance and my hair[00:05:33]

And now I'm about to lose you too my new friend[00:05:36]

I looked into those big blue eyes[00:05:42]

And said we'll meet again[00:05:45]

Yeah I looked into his sad blue[00:05:48]

Eyes and said we'll meet again[00:05:50]

Then I got the phone call from[00:05:53]

Alyssa and she told me he was dying[00:05:55]

By the time I got to his bedside[00:05:59]

We were both already flying[00:06:03]

We held hands and we sang songs[00:06:05]

Tried to be strong floated around[00:06:08]

While I cursed the skin that he was[00:06:11]

In for all the ways it had let him down[00:06:14]

Yeah I cursed the skin that he was[00:06:17]

In for all the ways it had let him down[00:06:19]

But at the same time I was[00:06:22]

Taking my own body for granted[00:06:25]

First I lost sight of my feet[00:06:29]

Then they became unplanted[00:06:32]

And I never felt so stupid or[00:06:34]

So selfish or so sad yeah[00:06:37]

My body had been good to me and[00:06:40]

I treated it so bad yeah[00:06:43]

My body had been good to me and[00:06:46]

I treated it so bad[00:06:49]

Then he said mama[00:06:51]

I don't want my friends to watch me die[00:06:53]

So I kissed his cheek made him a[00:06:57]

Shirt and then I said goodbye[00:07:00]

And they cremated him in the shirt that I drew[00:07:03]

Of the two of us that said they're flying over you too[00:07:09]

Now the silver pink ponies[00:07:15]

Have my home in their crew[00:07:18]

So I tightened up my laces and[00:07:21]

Knew what I had to do[00:07:24]

I started walking again I started walking again[00:07:26]

I miss my friends[00:07:36]

I started walking again I started walking again[00:07:38]

I miss my friends[00:07:48]

Walk like thunder[00:07:50]

Walk like thunder[00:07:56]

Walk like thunder[00:08:02]

Walk like thunder[00:08:08]

Walk like thunder[00:08:14]

Walk like thunder[00:08:20]

Walk like thunder[00:08:25]

Walk like thunder[00:08:31]

Walk like thunder[00:08:37]

Walk like thunder[00:08:43]

Walk like thunder[00:08:49]

Walk like thunder[00:08:54]

Even creatures of habit predisposed[00:09:01]

To systematically clinging together in the cold[00:09:04]

Know the measure of a pack it's not[00:09:07]

A question of the whole[00:09:08]

But the individuals that bottleneck into the fold[00:09:10]

On a march black Sabbath[00:09:12]

News from the ministry of make[00:09:14]

Believe that reach a tarmac in Minneapolis[00:09:16]

Middle seat yesterday the cells inside his[00:09:18]

Chest were growing baby teeth[00:09:21]

Today a raven radiated vacancy[00:09:22]

Wait two years ago a friend of mine[00:09:24]

Called me to redefine all enemy kind[00:09:27]

I'm at the hospital in twenty four[00:09:30]

And no one knew the future[00:09:32]

I'll take it everybody knows the future[00:09:33]

Antibodies hatching in a Hella[00:09:35]

Back with no room to maneuver[00:09:37]

Like disappearing pills into the masticated fuchsia[00:09:39]

I asked you how you feeling you told me like a robot[00:09:42]

I gave you a Nintendo you gave yourself a Mohawk[00:09:45]

You let us wheel you down beneath[00:09:48]

The leaning tower of flow charts[00:09:49]

To be around your beats without a[00:09:50]

Beeping sound of Bogart[00:09:52]

And speak about whatever people speak about[00:09:54]

When nobody's acknowledging the obvious[00:09:56]

Disease about to crowbar in[00:09:58]

Deplane slow comatose of baggage[00:10:00]

From king of hearts to carrion for jackals[00:10:03]

And never got to sing us all his own swan song right[00:10:05]

Coincidentally the rebel in me walked like thunder[00:10:08]

Walk like thunder[00:10:17]
