Vaccination Scar

So the chemistry's set
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 dust
Singing 'Life Is Forgettin'
Good enough for the frivilous

There's one thing I remember is
This tear on your bare shoulder
This little silver boulder
This slowly falling star
We're rolling, so what?
Never getting older where the moon-shocked curtains part
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
He went down like a bad card table, like
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Swimming on a bit
Stop, you're treading water, as the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire
Burning down to ember's end
The mystery met
Sky just reddened
Heading home under dusk
Is life just forgettin' another word for frivilous?
Little silver boulder
Silence from Mars
For the heart of enough
Or a teardrop in a Vaccination Scar

Wherever you are, scar
