cannonball statman - a great stampede lyrics

violent orphan annie found the portal to another world on the playground
beneath the first brave sliver of approaching daylight
at the end of another long, lonely summer
spent by the swing set, next to the railroad tracks
and the bones of four peregrine falcons
murdered by the wolves of the world;

we all watched in sheer amazement
as a great stampede of elephants
jumped off the eternal hamster wheel of our reality
onto every inhabited land m-ss on this planet
k!lling everything in its path

the air was ripe with blood, smoke, ashes, waste
and a deafening ensemble of moans

see that little old man over there behind that
surly 1940s teleportal-to-the-wirral motor vehicle?
i don’t believe i know him;
but i do
he says

“these are the lands where all great love goes to die
come along old friend, i’ll show you around
we’ll go back to paradiso
this is a river; a river of flying wood
these were all trees. can you imagine?
over there on your right, you’ll see a great sea of humans
and large wild mammals flying into a big black hole
there goes alice, gown and bracelet gone
she knows everybody, but no one knows her;
do you?”

tonight, i’ll dream of my first love
racing in the snow;
hot chocolate and cinnamon buns
and sweet laughter

i could hear his heart beating
under his thick coat

we went home, and watched the sky
open on television

i could hear his heart beating
under everything

our ships landed in brooklyn
under a late summer sunset

i could hear his heart beating

what a strange man-child;
but what a time

let’s go
back to paradiso
