Can We Be Songtext

von Hawksley Workman

Can we be totally new?
Can we be not responding to
Can we be gold dust on sleepy night trains
Can we be? (again?)

But I gather from what I know
?

Can we be (angel? Age old?) my friend
To come and fossilize
Can we be (angel? Age old?) my friend
For to philosophize

And I gather from what I know
?

Are these the places
That fear tends to monopolize?
Are these the places
That fools tend to metropolize?

And baby, I think you know
Know why...

Through the love, through the mud
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, in the mud
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the mud
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough to!

*JACK-IN-THE-BOX SOLO!*

Can we be like the fruit
That ripens on the tree
Can we be like the (peaches?)
(Squeezing over me?)

Baby, I think I gather biologists saying
That I...

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff

Through the mud, through the love
Are you strong enough
To carry all this stuff
