lyrics

Imagine that you never caught the express bus
Never sat by the girl or boy, no you and me, no us
No use for that diploma, you got some other gig
Another one of the many ways you never got too big

Who writes down
The alternate history
The truth unfounded
Contemplated wistfully
Who can ever capture
Chains of causal links
You'd need a wider aperture
Than God's own eyeball blinks

And a whole new scripture
Not to mention more light for the picture

Imagine that bastard they named the city after
Dying of dysentery or maybe hung from some rafter
A final breath a subtle shiver and a frozen pout
At that city at night a wonderful sight before his eyes go lights out
