Lyrics
0:13Steer your way past the ruins of the altar and the mall
0:19Steer your way through the fable of creation and the fall
0:24Steer your way past the palaces that rise above the rot
0:30Year by year month by month day by day
0:41Thought by thought
0:46Steer your heart past the truth that you believed in yesterday
0:52Such as fundamental goodness and the wisdom of the way
0:57Steer your heart precious heart past the women whom you bought
1:03Year by year month by month day by day
1:14Thought by thought
1:22Steer you way through the pain that is far more real than you
1:28That smashed the cosmic model that blinded every view
1:34And please don't make me go there though there be a god or not
1:39Year by year month by month day by day
1:50Thought by thought
1:56They whisper still the injured stones
1:58The blunted mountains weep
2:05As he died to make men holy
2:08Let us die to make things cheap
2:15And the mea culpa which you probably forgot
2:20Year by year month by month day by day
2:31Thought by thought
2:39Steer your way o my heart though I have no right to ask
2:45To the one who was never never equal to the task
2:51Who knows he's been convicted who knows he will be shot
2:56Year by year month by month day by day
3:07Thought by thought
3:13They whisper still the injured stones
3:16The blunted mountains weep
3:22As he died to make men holy
3:25Let us die to make things cheap
3:32And the mea culpa which you gradually forgot
3:37Year by year month by month day by day
3:48Thought by thought
