lyrics

“consensus chalice”

get in the van put on your seat belt
someone’s gonna have to drive
but who are all these strangers in here tonight?

then a german with eyes wet with tears starts to drive
a coup d’etat, teutonic smile
your hands your hips your plunged neckline
watch your back oh watch your back
take a sip and nod off

consensus chalice
consensus eludes us
consensus chalice
you held you passed you stayed
you voted you chose you caved

the road grows ugly
it’s a fact that a faction cecedes
not standing but really leaning hard
on a miserichord

beauty is fleeting but you are perfect
pass the glass for the 13th time
JFK at the free throw line
watch your back o’ watch your back
a fleeting feeling, flimsy trust

consensus chalice
consensus chalice
you held you passed you stayed
you voted you chose you caved

consensus chalice
consensus chalice
you sense this malice
you feel this sky these clouds are unstable
and whatever joy or charm they had
has been replaced with a coup
with a coup
