the president lincoln – a year in photographs lyrics
[verse set 1]
we strolled around the grounds
we made the rounds
we digged the old town
we butchered all the verbs
and we mis+pr+nounced the nouns
we drank at that cafe, we stayed there late
we dug the retro waitress while
british hens and stags living up to their cliches
so we walked up to the church to take the photograph you take when you go there
and we searched among the monuments for some frame of reference to compare
but it’s not there
close but yet so far away
familiar and yet strange
we’ll build the next new buda+prague in our green and pleasant brains
you collect the currency
i’ll meet you by the statue in the square
[chorus]
everything is the same everywhere
everyday is replayed unaware
a year in photographs will show us constantly in the same poses
everything is the same everywhere
[interlude]
[verse set 2]
ghosts protect me on my way
my streetmap is my shame
i walked the streets my granddad walked with a different spelling of his name
you reject the currency
it chooses like a statue in a square
[chorus]
everything is the same everywhere
everyday is replayed unaware
a year in photographs will show us constantly in the same poses
everything is the same everywhere
everything is the same everywhere
everyday is replayed unaware
a year in photographs will boldly frame us going some place aimless
everything is the same everywhere
everything is the same everywhere
everything is the same everywhere
everything
everywhere
