LOL. This song is almost impossible to make out. Fortunately the liner notes on the CD have the lyrics.
Oh we are nothing:
but what our words leave behind
are worth the raiment of the sun
Sighed Palinurus, humming "Bird on a Wire",
eyeing the cloth of the sun
Thus we are nothing but what our words leave behind.
Thus collect your poetries and incantations and bullets for the blind
I haven't read them
I will not read them
because they dwell too much on signs
Thus the desert deserts thee:
I left this bullwhip by the nightstand
Julliard was a thousand miles ago
Where you gonna run when the clouds break?
When the sun peaks his eye with attitude and rye,
and you're set upon and lost
lost feeling that the pain of ages rocks...
Hex signifiers, Iambic petra-fiers
And Roman Shit that we have left behind
I'm gonna plumb the white pages, rocking the pain of ages,
looking at your graceless depictions of light
though when there is there is nothing left to read
there shall be nothing left to write
Baby that's when I get on board and drop
I left this bullwhip by the nightstand...and Julliard...
and your setter drops... feeling that the pain of ages rocks
These should replace the main lyrics above. On the album, he sings it slightly different, but this is mostly correct.

For example, he sings "for they dwell too much on signs" vs "because they dwell too much on signs". But anyways, please songmeanings, replace the lyrics because the ones listed are wrong.
