Human Curse Lyrics
manitoba road runs right down to bracebridge falls
manitoba road peeks and hides and shows herself
right behind bracebridge falls
big pete and i dashed to the boat to utilize the escaping light
ignoring all the river speed signs
though we knew that's not right
ignoring all the river speed signs
though we knew "hey, that's just not right"
august fifteenth, the waxing crescent helped to light our path
as we shot from the mouth of the river into the open lake
i turned to look back
the last dying fingers of a canadian sun held our precious world
in its grasp
then he answered the question on my mind i was afraid to ask
i was afraid to ask
i was afraid to ask
he said "listen to me, boy, you've been coming here all your life
and the water's been getting worse
like the addict that spikes the source
the whole body's been cursed"
bullshit we learn from our mistakes!
but the mother, she's been keeping score
we, we only fix those things we've ruined
when we, we can't hide them anymore
we can't hide it anymore
"you've been swimming here all your life
and the water's been getting worse
ask any animal and he'd gladly blame the beautiful
beautiful, beautiful human curse"
