[1st Verse]
One thousand stillborn thoughts to cradle and hold
With my mother's hands a place that my mind
Chased and hoped, of these empty winds, to breathe
No I won't rest, when the house is to shame
Call out to these waters, yes you Great Lakes
Do I bury them with their names?
[2nd Verse]
You cut me open, just to see what's within
Clean up these organs, wrap your words with my skin
I guess Im just looking for a transplant lover
With infinite regress
Some one who would dance around my doors
And sing a casket, what do you say?, now what do you say?
It is a strange year, and it appears that I am stuck
[Chorus]
But I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
[3rd Verse]
Stranded in the north sea, yeah a wild dream
Frantic city keep my warm, this fall, it's been a heavy year
Bathurst, Spadina, St. George and Bay
Am I to condemn, the hands of darkness?
Now tell it to the quiet fire of my blood, tell it to the eager
Fever of my heart, who will arrange the funeral?
[Chorus]
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
I predict, a graceful expulsion
