Lyrics for Kings

All day snow covered us Night-time: it was always night The people on the street were made of meat Black girl, trucks ran us down Blue boy... The people on the sidewalk were traced in chalk Whale embryos filled your enormous room Screech-owl kachinas built your spiritual room We were kings, kings! We were kings, kings!
