Song Lyrics

Emptiness and blue
Beside the city moon
Empty black cat eyes
Cat's cradle eyes

Keep an eye on you
Heavy Spanish moss
A hanging veil across the Graceland get
The ancestors of the world

Think it looks great
Their names inscribed by death
In a spectral alphabet
Their names look foreign

And they are forgotten by the world again
Emptiness and blue
Beside the city moon
The empty streets

Hardly remember you
The rest of us do
A promise inscribed by death
In a spectral alphabet

The words look foreign
And they are forgotten by the world again
What it says could that have kept us out of fiery hands
