lyrics

When I'm alone, sometimes I think about
all of the things that we don't speak about we've
had some horrible ideas.
Theresienstadt and the Carolina,
Roy DeMeo and the World Trade Center...
had some horrible ideas.

Violence is a consequence of Luther King's island in the sea.
And reticence is so pertinent in a world where they would kill you just for speaking.
The dark arts of human hearts, well they have no purchase on the willing, you know.

Forgive my fathers, they knew not......

… what they did was wrong; cleanse me of wrong.
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
'Cause we've got some... some beautiful...

The Catholics and the terrorists and the Mormons and the Methodists,
and the upper-class and the guttersnipes and the Pagans with their ancient rites.
All the men and all the women and the children all on ritalin,
they're all gonna come along and they're all gonna get along.

And so you bless all my children and pray whilst I....

… cleanse myself of wrong; cleanse me 'til it's gone.
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
Singing
“Flow, flow sweet waterfalls of the blood of their young...
cleanse me of wrong.”
'Cause we've got some... some beautiful ideas.
