lyrics

Untitled for Kurt Cobain

© 1995 by Eric Dahl

The bag lady's soakin
inside a flowered plastic coat
tryin to sweat away her winter cold
and the Reverend Orca with one clouded eye
is still savin delusional souls
but there's a new orphan ghost
from the rainswept coast
dangles his feet in the air
out past the edge of the Desimone bridge
the one that doesn't go anywhere

Not an emblem
not a symbol
he's just one of our own
it's a little more lonely
with each fallen bloom
you wonder what if this one had grown

They told it on the air
it's folded in the papers
they musta sold another million CDs
but everything I heard they just didn't get it
it's not as simple as a kick in the knees
when the edge of every knife
knows the same question about life
maybe you don't wanna get too clear
so everybody's gay
somethin's in the way
stupid, contagious, and near

Not an emblem
not a symbol
he's just one of our own
it's a little more lonely
with each fallen bloom
you wonder what if this one had grown.

The bag lady's soakin
inside a flowered plastic coat
tryin to sweat away her winter cold
and the Reverend Orca with one clouded eye
is still savin delusional souls
but there's a new orphan ghost
from the rainswept coast
dangles his feet in the air
out past the edge of the Desimone bridge
the one that doesn't go anywhere

Not an emblem
not a symbol
he's just one of our own
it's a little more lonely
with each fallen bloom
what if this one had grown
what if this one could have grown.
