oh, the streets are cracked
     
yeah, i like the heat
 
 
there's glass everywhere
     
of your body laying under me
 
 
and the children stare
     
may your wild lip get you where you're going
 
 
with a motherless eye
     
with your inventions
 
 
     
your intentions
 
 
in arms of beauty
     
your laughter
 
 
and on fields of war
     
your forever yearning
 
 
trapped in lament
     
 
 
from the poet's core
     
oh, where, oh, where
 
 
     
when that trumpet sound
 
 
oh, where
     
 
 
oh, where will I be?
   
are you talking pretty, healing scars
 
 
oh, where
   
gnawing away at the steel bars?
 
 
when that old trumpet sound
   
going down pure
 
 
   
crawling in the cracks
 
 
i met an indian girl
   
going all the way down
 
 
in ottawa
   
and coming all the way back
 
 
she said "you'll be alright
     
 
 
when you wah wah"
     
oh, where, oh, where
 
 
     
oh, when that trumpet sound
 
 
don't waste your breath
     
oh, where, oh, where
 
 
don't waste your heart
     
oh, when that trumpet sound
 
 
don't blister your heels
     
 
 
walking in the dark
     
well, the heart opens wide
 
 
     
like it's never seen love
 
 
oh, where
     
and addiction stays
 
 
oh, where will I be?
     
on tight like a glove
 
 
oh, where
     
 
 
when that old trumpet sound
     
oh, where, oh, where will i be?
