Zion By Fast Car

 mindlovemisery's menagerie

Lines from Tracy Chapman's song "Fast Cars"
and Psalm 137




i want a ticket to anywhere
by the waters of babylon
starting from zero
got nothing to lose

i had a feeling i could be someone
be someone
be someone
i'd always hoped for better
we lay down and wept
and wept
for thee zion

you gotta make a decision
leave
we remember
we remember
we remember
thee zion

or
leave the harps
hanging in the trees
shrivel and die

  1. Often we underrate our own achievements. If you can look back and smile, even laugh it wasn't that bad.
