Wait for History

Deconstruction

Composed by: Dave Navarro/Eric Avery/Michael Murphy
Sanwa bank 
building the temple of karnak 
and the scent of a steam engine 
and the halls of the faces 
that came before me 
and the pillars we placed there 
the more you push it 
the more it falls down 
trapped in a musty room 
till the process punch puts a hole 
through the boards on all the windows 
and the light comes streaming in 
and it shines on the dust 
who am I to know 
from which direction 
from where the help 
I needed would 
come thank you so much 
for lifting the shroud off of me 
so again I can see the grey 
for what it is which is everything 
the wind and an unselfconscious breast 
the wait for history it's not up to me 
it's time that decides terra-cotta fountains 
all dried up leave it all again 
to the roaches when our dirty 
sidewalk becomes sheet rock 
and history becomes geology.
