Regeneration

Truckstops, interstates and highways
Roue 95 in a silver star
Something invaded my head space
A foreign body in a foreign place

Video cameras, and a black suitcase
Stitches out, USA Today
Mickey, Disney, and Ronald Duck
I don’t know whose for real,
I’m all messed up

Five years without ever knowing
Piss in bottles and giving blood
Stand up poets on an open mic stand
Shouting over drunks and broken strings
Regeneration

From the source of the river to the city’s start
Where the country ends and a world begins
Man is of the universe as fish of the sea
Life is here and I am free
So totally free

Hank on stage at A.S. 220
Faxes from Reilly, radio I.D.’s
Strange news coming from a telephone
Bang a gong and Oasis songs

New words needles and remission
Honey and lemon and lukewarm tea
Combat fatigues and the colour green
Percentages from 60 to 70
Regeneration

From the source of the river to the city’s start
Where the country ends and the world begins
Man is of the universe as fish of the sea
Life is here and I am free
So totally free
