End of an Era

It's the end of an era I guess we weren't as strong as we thought all the shops are closing at the end of our block streets paved in litter are all that we have no more shiny things that mother brings so hang it on the wall let's weep and weep there's an anger inside me begging to be released and it's stealing the life from me time spent and time undone I'm glad that you came here everyone but the curtain call was more than an hour ago so goodbye ladies and gentlemen it's under your pillow you know over the mountains and down through the snow you'll pray for change and rearrange but beneath your head lies your sacrament I rush to hide my face in every large crowd cause the thought of them seeing me in such doubt could put me under and out so walk on walk on I will do until out of sight until the casket door creaks and turns and folds me in and it closes on me tight there's an anger inside me begging to be released and it's stealing the life from me time spent and time undone I'm glad that you came here everyone but the curtain call was more than an hour ago so goodbye ladies and gentlemen it's under your pillow you know over the mountains and down through the snow you'll pray for change and rearrange but beneath your head lies your sacrament It's the end of an era I guess we weren't as strong as we thought all the shops are closing at the end of our block
