Up from Land Lyrics by J. Mamana

Nothing New in the West

2018

Along the Mason-Dixon line
A lover’s quarrel ends
So a vulgar sibling rivalry
Can finally take its place
And I—a non-sectarian—
Whose fun is to make amends—
I’m lost, alone and lonely
And dreaming
Of your face
Up from land, up from dirty land
The land where all the love
You’ve lost
Will soon be laid to rest
And there goes fine Paulinus
Wandering empire’s finest
Bohos never change!
But we know water creeps on
Nola’s beaches
Past the lurid breakers
Where the rapids meet the Gulf
Where the Mississippi River splits
And greens the Outer Shelf
There’s a blond and preening
Repo Man
All cool unchristian can't
On the last Southeastern island
Humming bebop to himself
Up from land, up from dirty land
The land where all the love
You’ve lost
Will soon be laid to rest
And those post hoc diviners
Talk of Lot’s but not Aquinas
Pray cum grain of salt
And vibe like Philistines
So let’s not waste time
Whaling on the Ouachita
And swearing at the bream
You’ll lie with something sinister
Or die in club passim
Up from land, up from dirty land
The land where all the love
You’ve lost
Will soon be laid to rest
