Mission District Lyrics by Pinetop Seven

Bringing Home the Last Great Strike

0

Growing up I wish I'd pulled him away, pulled him away
When the planes would crash I'd find him awake, find him awake
Walk to town, find the mission drunks
He gave them coins I gave to him
One behind their sun
And he'd say, "You'll be safe here in my walls. You can't see them, but you'll feel. What comes for you can't harm us here."
And he grew like mad but shrank with the fear, shrank with the fear
Any day his dreams where family died would find him alive
Laid awake on his mission floor
No, Mexico was never warm to him
Once behind the sun
And he'd say, "You'll be safe here in my walls. You can't see them. You'll feel. What comes for you can't harm us here."
And on and on as he older went
Spinning black blankets down
A son to flames and wife to smoke
And him away and further still
He learned his walls were cheats and fakes
His arms and heart hollow and wood-like
He gave no comfort, saved no one
Adrift and loose, by guilt he moved
And on and on, him knowing now
That all things come crashing down
