Everyone makes the same wave at the same time
Like petals on water
And they call all those interrupting lines
Sons and daughters
A community
So let’s join hands in song
Blessed unity
But brother I don’t want to know ya, I don’t even want to know ya
Sister, I don’t want to know ya, I don’t even want to know ya
But we’re trapped, in this lovely mess
Hold you close and smile, fake
Like they do way out west
So many medicines for so many heads
I help you clean the skeletons from under your bed
But, I don’t even know ya, how could it be me that sends you?
Darling, didn’t yo’ momma tell you not to let no stranger bend you
Probably someone here that could help to mend you
But it’s not me
Got my own anxiety
Sadness isn’t any way to explain
You’ll probably crash heads throughout
Possibly slain*
It’s as simple as the way you wear your [something]** shoes
And your righteous rays*** (a rainbow)
But all I know is your blues
Ain’t like my blues
And why would they ever be
If there’s one commonality, it’s that that feeling is mutual
Given time you’ll see
You’ll see
There's definitely something here, "possibly" sounds right, "slain" is harder to make out and might be something else
** This word doesn't sound like either umpire or untied to me. Please, if anyone has more ideas, please post them. The phrase might also be "[something] issues"
*** This word could be damn near anything, but it didn't sound like "face" to me.
here's what I can hear...
