David Wirsig - Duck and Cover lyrics

Artist: David Wirsig

album: Prodigal


Bring out your beaten and your scarred, let's meet at the bars
See if their elixirs can cure us
Let's send up panicked prayers like signal flares
See if someone can hear us
Let's fold our hands together and untether from time
Reaching back through the ether
Toward that moment right before her head hit the floor
And we'll throw a blanket beneath her
Then when the ground shakes and the wave in its wake
Finds us in the arms of our lovers
Hold your charms to your chests, hide beneath your desks
Duck and cover
Inside a dimly lit dive just off the 405
Exchanging philosophies and dogmas
We'll call each other friends, we'll never speak again
Turn our backs on our problems
We'll pour our liquor and our beer, pretend not to hear
The distant peals of thunder
Feel our eyes get soft as we hold our hopes aloft
In clinking glasses and tumblers
But when the air turns foul and the dogs start to howl
Gather up your sister and brother
Less than two minutes now to reach high ground
Before the highways are smothered
So when the ground shakes and the wave in its wake
Finds us in the arms of our lovers
Hold your charms to your chests, hide beneath your desks
Duck and cover
