"The Nineteen Stars Of Heaven"
[Spoken:]
And when you say lie
Do you mean the kind of lie that Lincoln told
When he was talking to the soldiers
Who were leaving for the front?
About how they'd be just fine
And would be home by spring
Walking and alive?
Or do you mean some other kind of lie?
The nineteen stars of heaven
Matched by what they stood for:
Constancy gullibility and sorrow
