Aurora - Mineral

It’s always an answer that nobody questions

Some gave out a long time ago

It’s only performance and not dress rehearsal

The hipsters and trash trucks and I should know

But it’s never now, no, it’s always tomorrow

Or yesterday here—some kind of shadow show

Dump fires in the west now—the city’s aflame

And November’s dreams line the yard sales of May

It’s always a reason they’re trying to sell you

It’s always a reasonable doubt

But things with no reason just pour forth each instant

From nothing and make such a joyous sound

Aurora, Aurora, a child, a babe

A blue yawning glow upon flowers of the alleyway

And lo, in the east now a pink dragon rises

Spills light o’er the buildings from her thousand-petalled crown

Makes one all the many, the changelings—reclaims each

Rains jewels down the mountains, lights every face in town

But it’s never now, no, it’s always tomorrow

Or yesterday here—some kind of shadow show

But things with no reason just pour forth each instant

From nothing and make such a joyous sound

Aurora, Aurora, a child, a babe

A blue yawning glow upon flowers of the alleyway

Can’t get up for falling down

We’re taped together now

Love in the lost and found

Everything resounds

Can’t get up for falling down

We’re taped together now

Love in the lost and found

Everything resounds

Can’t get up for falling down

We’re taped together now

Love in the lost and found

Everything resounds

Can’t get up for falling down

We’re taped together now

Love in the lost and found

Everything resounds
