The People´s Key

I loved a triple spiral 
My maiden mother crow 
I folded my devotion to an origami rose 
So out her ten feet window, she said to look below 
Could I see the town was burning? 
Could I see the broken prison? 
Could I see that it was time for me to go? 


They looted the museum, took all that they could hold 
A motorcade of flatbed trucks 
Made off with with quite a haul 
And that's when I heard someone shout 
"In with new, out with the old!" 
A dusty box of letters 
A rusty suit of armor 
A casket made of 14 carat gold 


That's the problem 
Your sense of time 
She changes like an hourglass 
They're playing on the side 


I loved you triple spiral 
Father, son, and ghost 
But you left me in my darkest hour 
When I needed you, when I needed you 
Now that the dream is over, I want it to be known 
I never saw you coming 
From my little human prism 
How sad it is to know I'm in control 


That's the problem, an empty sky 
I fill it up with everything that's missing from my life 
Where'd you come from, you faded sign? 
Spinning through the centuries 
Expanding all the time 


Three worlds at once that blend together 
Three times I cried for us 
But I felt better then ... 


I loved you triple spiral 
My maiden mother crow 
You found me in this fallowed state 
My mind was off and stow 
I heard your strange commotion 
And wished I could go home 
To live a little longer 
A full indian summer 
Long enough to carve you into stone
