A Public Place lyrics
by Wire



In this public placePigeons move busilyThrough the contentsOf a man's lifeIn this public placeHis last mortal remainsReflect a private lakeIn this public placeLies fly in formationCandid fiction spreads its wingsIt's deceptive at this angleDoes truth dance?Does truth sing?The private hedge pissersIn anxious alleysThe village boy-wide-menWith a game on their handsWait for the signThat will take them to HeavenWait for the signOnly they understandIn this public placeA carved treeBurst through an atheist's heartAnd broken promisesDrifted into the shape of footprintsIn this public placeLies fly in-formationCandid fiction spreads its wings
