Crack the spine and relate us to yellowed words on brand new pages
All we are
All the volumes

Can't contain us
So place your blame and punctuate it
with sharp-tongued words from sharp-tongued sages

All we are
All the wisdom
Can't contain us


We're typical
We're typical

But you can't read about us anymore
We're typical
We're typical

And all the words we knew that came before

On the fire are crackling pages of ancient words and ancient places

Take my hand
Through the forest of the knowledge we've created
We'll read the lines that mark our ages

Wrinkled eyes and wrinkled faces
(Read them down to our mouths, forming words and forming phrases)


We're typical
We're typical
But you can't read about us anymore

We're typical
We're typical
And all the words we knew that came before


Our love will not stand on the shoulders of greatness
All you are

And all I am,
Never before and never again.


We're typical
We're typical
But you can't read about us anymore

We're typical
We're typical
But you can't be without him anymore

We're typical
We're typical
And all the words we knew that came before
