Lletres: Tragically Hip. Vaccination Scar.

So the chemistry's set
And I'm not the saddest cheerleader
To forget the American word
For the gang in the head
That dwindles 'til no members

When the mystery's met
The sky looks threatened
Heading home in the dust
Singing, 'Life is forgetting'
Good enough for the frivolous

There's one thing I remember
Is this tear on your bare shoulder
This little silver boulder
This slowly falling star

We're rolling, so what?
Never getting older where
The moon-shocked curtains part
The start of enough
A tear dropped in a vaccination scar

I'll tell ya if I'm able
That is, I'll tell ya like it is
He went down like a bad card table
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge
Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Swimming on a bit
Stop, you're treading water
As the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire
Burning down to ember's end

The mystery met
Sky just reddened
Heading home under dusk
Is 'Life just forgetting'
Another word for frivolous?

Little silver boulder
Silence from Mars
For the heart of enough
Or a teardrop in a vaccination scar

Wherever you are, scar
