lyrics

I'm sitting in a room with it,
all my Mormon heritage
Francie taught me this little trick
Some quick step into mindfulness

Like, imagine it isn't part of you
It's just the song playing in this cafe
Forgive the jukebox for not playing your tune
Or ignore it or put in a quarter or walk away

Even when it's playing pretty loud
Intruding all your personal space
I came here to read, but my focus is shifting
To my mom's dad, intensely listening

No man knows my history
no man passed down this mystery
no man converted my ancestry
no man in the New York spring

No man knows my history
no man gave christ to the Cherokees
no man older than just fourteen
no man in a grove of trees

And you know, it still holds my attention
But then, here comes my old man, joined by his dad, and his dad
Clinkin together three cups of coffee
Like glasses of wine
Saying “few can compare my mythology,”
Saying “this is the path walked by humanity”
My mom actually said that
Saying “this is the spring which brings forth fruit”
And this and that
My dad never cared much for music but he sure loves the drink
