The Tragically Hip Vaccination Scar

So the chemistry's set,
and I'm not the saddest cheerleader
to forget the American word.
For the gang in the head
that dwindles 'til no members when.
The mystery's met,
the sky looks threatened
heading home in the dusk,
singing 'Life Is Forgetting',
good enough for the frivolous.

One thing I remember is
this tear on your bare shoulder,
this little silver boulder,
this slowly falling star.
Rolling, so what?
Never getting older
Where the moon-shocked curtains part.
at the start of enough,
a tear dropped, in a Vaccination Scar.

I'll tell ya if I'm able, that is,
I'll tell ya like it is.
It went down like a bad card table, like
the Tacoma Narrows Bridge,
like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Swimming on a bit,
stop and treading water
as the sun assimilated the words.
For lighthouse fire
burning down to embers� end.
The mystery met
The sky just-reddened,
heading home under dusk.
Is life just for gettin'g
another word for frivilous?
Or little silver boulder,
Or silence from Mars.
For the heart of enough
For a teardrop in a Vaccination Scar.?

Wherever you are,
scar.
