The Signal
Why don't you cast about
Try to come to it yourself
Why this disordered house
Why can you plough no one out
I said to cease and desist
I said to motherfucking stop it
This is a plea for clemency, here
This is me invoking mercy
The signal is not a birdcall
So do not listen hard for those
Take out the lamplighter if you must
And, you must
And also: get your own house in order
Here's the torch
Brighten your own troubled corners
Light it right up, light it right up
I feel I'm up against a wall
Moored at a barren port of call
You've got my weakness resplendently lit
And you won't kill the switch
I said to cease and desist
I said to motherfucking stop it
This is a plea for clemency, here
This is me invoking mercy
The signal is not a birdcall
So do not listen hard for those
Take out the lamplighter if you must
And you, you must
