When You're Spastic & It's Serious

from Make Mouths by passion fanfare

/

lyrics

Francisco Hernandez, you're my hero
You rode the subway from one to zero
When police officers and teachers are gone and dead
I hope all your favorite images are still buzzing in your head.

Like trains in the night you will find yourself all right
Deep underground where you are safe and sound
And no one looks at you 'cause they're going somewhere too
And the map in your lap is the only place you've found to be loved

Francisco Hernandez, stay in school
Redeem yourself with genius, holy fool
And even if you make the cut, there's nothing there for you
When you're spastic and it's serious they won't know what to do

So take off and fly in the shuttle in the sky
The mess in the dirt, the quilt that is the earth
The peanuts and the wings on your lapel, all the things
That hold you to yourself when your mind is smashing through the sun

(No one really cares about people and the world and after a while you will stop feeling anything as you flutter through the earth on the wings of a train and no one looks at you because you are lost in space.)

It isn't funny 'cause it's sad
It's funny because no one's mad at you now
Take off your sneakers, leave them on the kitchen floor
And wrap yourself in sheets
