《Lotus Gait》歌词

[00:00:00] Lotus Gait - Propagandhi

[00:00:04] I have this recurring nightmare

[00:00:09] Flailing pigeon her broken feet

[00:00:14] Frozen solid to the freezing pavement

[00:00:20] I turn away as if I do not see

[00:00:26] I have this childhood memory

[00:00:30] Of my old man screaming

[00:00:32] From the drivers seat

[00:00:36] To turn away from an unfolding horror

[00:00:41] But he could not undo what I had seen

[00:00:46] We never spoke of it again

[00:00:49] Two more hapless citizens of

[00:00:55] The new post-traumatic

[00:00:56] Stress worldwide disorder

[00:01:01] A stockholm syndrome fifth estate

[00:01:05] Desperate to batten

[00:01:06] Down the mounting horrors

[00:01:10] And shuffle on in a global lotus gait

[00:01:14] Content to marinate

[00:01:17] In the plasma glow of the

[00:01:22] Home entertainment prisons we

[00:01:25] Commune before like dime-store shrines

[00:01:30] Are these but votive lives

[00:01:34] A strangled twisted truss

[00:01:37] That shores-up each of us

[00:01:41] Anything to dull the pain

[00:01:44] Of a splintered lotus gait

[00:01:49] As for me a filigree of psychic police tape

[00:01:55] Tends to cordon-off the darker scenes

[00:02:00] But the wandering mind stumbles through it

[00:02:05] And relives them all eventually

[00:02:09] Pries open wide your eyes

[00:02:12] And shines a painful light

[00:02:15] On the guilt the fear the shame

[00:02:20] The courage never came

[00:02:24] From the plasma glow of the

[00:02:28] Home entertainment prisons we

[00:02:32] Cling to like dime-store shrines

[00:02:37] Are these but votive lives

[00:02:41] Conservative at heart

[00:02:45] A conformist from the start

[00:02:49] A stockholm syndrome fifth estate

[00:02:53] A staggering lotus gait

[00:02:57] It's a strangled twisted truss

[00:03:01] That shores-up each of us

[00:03:04] So anything to dull the pain

[00:03:07] Of a self-inflicted crippling lotus gait
