lyrics

I built this world
I built this world
And my world is strong
My world is strong
The light is golden and the river's long

It's a good old fight
I made this world with blood and light
Light enough to see you
Now that you're gone

My world has shape
Beautiful form
Keeps my family safe and warm

Chorus
The world is yours
Your lovers cry
Your children come to the river to die
Old black crow,
Can you spare a brother
A piece of the sky?

You laid love to waste
Laid love to waste
And the silence stayed
But I don't believe
You lost your yearning for another taste

And when I see your eyes
I see your end, and the end is nigh
La-ti-dah!
But it's no secret
That you kept your grace

Nothing hurts
Everything's lost
I've lost count of the rivers you've crossed

Chorus

These are my trees
They grow in white and shining wood
Everything is good
I've done everything I should

I made this world
And you were never a piece of this world
Oh, my crow,
These are not the branches on which you stood

It's beautiful
Feather and thorn
I've loved you since I was born

Chorus

Pale People Missoula, montana

Missoula, MT’s worst-kept secret.
An eccentric piano-rock quartet with a varied oeuvre, from soft confessionals to howling rants about the lonely and insane.
Better than sex. Cheaper than therapy.
