Epiphany

East of Arizona, west of New Orleans

Found a bleached skeleton in a pair of blue jeans

A bloody belt of shells across a cage of ribs

Sing, "Man is in love and love's war vanishes"

And I would sail around the world just to get her back

Lay ten thousand miles of railroad track

Sail around the world just to get her back

Man is in love and love's war vanishes

Rise up, dry bones, rise up and tell

Where home is found, what makes us well

Rise up, dry bones, and dance and round

Defy the dust in which you are found

And soon enough they'll lay you

Underneath a tree like they'll do to me

It's for you that I've been given this epiphany, my sweet Lily

'Til the organist's cacophonist scares the sparrows from the trees

And the belfry's bells bang boisterously as a bird wings on the breeze

And my Lily, why, will be reunited with

The only lover she's ever really gonna need

And like the Mexicans anchored in the living room

I'll keep her bein' hot and warm so she's not lonely

Not lonely

Rise up, dry bones, rise up and tell

Where home is found, what makes us well

Rise up, dry bones, and dance and round

Defy the dust in which you are found
