X-Patriate: Alan J. Lipman
All Fall Down
Chaotic butterfly
In the hospital hallway
Where the drone dropped through
An amazing light
Stutter steps
In the Capitol hallway
As the aides
Stumble out
Into the night
Beltway stream
A steaming scream
Of madness
Comes too close
To a traffic jam
As he stumbles cross the street
At the light
Mothers holding his hand
And all
Hold yourself up
And all
Bring your soul
Around
And all
Drink from
The cup
And all
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
Castles rise
And fall
By the seaside
As omnipotent streams
Babble on
With burning lust
And the baffled stand by
While he's making hay
With others' lives
And once steeled hearts
Are turning
Into rust
Turn around
Look at the shore
I saw it
A flame
That lit the night
For another day
There are ways
To get to
The very core of it
Then watch all just
Fall out and
Fade away
And all
Hold yourself up
And all
Bring your soul
Around
And all
Drink from
The cup
And all
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
Select your sight
There's a new day dawning
Violent crowd
Voices rising from the shore
You can find a new way
To make your sound
Echo down
Or you can find a way
To make something
Make something more
Sometimes
When you sleep
You think the world
Isn't a dream
Until you see
That's what you were
Dreaming of
And the weathered sight
Of the suffering seems
To be a fight for the worst
Better meaning of
And all
Hold yourself up
And all
Bring your soul
Around
And all
Drink from
The cup
And all
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
And all
Hold yourself up
And all
Bring your soul
Around
And all
Drink from
The cup
And all
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
All
Fall
Down
