Zigzagging Toward the Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop My mind's a weathervane, it spins around just like a top Knows what the winds of fortune bring In the season of the witch Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban myth [Chorus] Oh, how the circumstances change This world of smoke and steel And compromise and meter-maids I'm going to leave here 'fore too long Zigzagging toward the light I'm off to sing my bounder song [Verse 2] True love, it hides like city stars Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate how near or far If it comes, it comes quite unannounced, a momentary glance Lit up by sun or moon or bonfire or ambulance [Chorus] Then how the circumstances change Feels unmistakable, with no idea from where it came But you will know it when it's gone Zigzagging through the night Half-dead, you sing your bounder song Half-dead, you sing the bounder song Half-dead, you sing, half-dead you sing [Bridge] Sing for the bounder Whose word is never kept A bindle of flowers to state his mind And bloom when he forgets [Verse 3] It's true that shadows tell the time On sunny afternoons, on crowded sidewalks, passersby I'm in a queue that stretches out far as the eye can see It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternity [Chorus] Oh, how the circumstances change I fly by interstate across a purple mountain range I'll find a place to come undone Zigzagging toward you now I sing out loud our bounder's song [Outro] (Oh-oh, oh-oh Bounder's song Oh-oh, oh-oh Bounder's song Oh-oh, oh-oh Bounder's song Oh-oh, oh-oh)
