So Long Dead

Wolfgang Press
I'm out of the forest
I'm out of the wilds
I'm out of the forest
And into the light
I'm out of extinction
And into the scene
I'm out of extinction
And into the meaning
Where can I be?

Well, I'm so long sad
So long dead
So long beaten
But here I stand
Breathing love as mean as this
Where can I be?

Sinking in the self
And making it a bride
Preaching in love and making it a liar
Making love is not what I said
Freaks a double meaning
Meaning man

So long man
So long dead
So long man
So long dead

I'm sick and tired of what man has achieved
Sick in riches trying to make him be seen
My mind is double vacant
Making me a liar
Stick it to your face and then make it alright

So long man
So long dead
So long beaten but here I stand
Breathing love as mean as this
Breaking love as cheap as this
Where can I be?

Thinking it's sad to be on my own
Making it back to become so old
Genocide likes walking home
I'm breathing it down to be on my own
A little sympathy is what you need
A little sympathy is what I fear
A little sympathy
So long dead

So long will time have caused a genocide
Making a sport from a man paralysed
Breathing love as mean as this
Breaking love as cheap as this

So long man
So long dead
So long man
So long dead

(Allen, Cox, Gray)
