Lyrics

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

My knee gives out on the stair

I limp toward the morning light

Somebody shouting on the square

Says the river's running dry tonight

I count the cracks along the wall

A radio hums a borrowed tune

Pre-Chorus

They hand me headlines by the fistful

Tell me who to fear and when

I nod along and keep on limping

Chorus

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Every mouth a proclamation

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Feed me noise and call it formation

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 2

The sax bleeds through the patio

A parrot learns a general's phrase

My neighbor swears he saw the show

On seventeen forgotten days

I drag my bad leg past the crowd

They're selling certainty in jars

Pre-Chorus

They promise me a cleaner morning

Hand me slogans by the crate

I take the box and keep on limping

Chorus

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Every mouth a proclamation

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Feed me noise and call it formation

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Bridge

Say it louder

Say it slower

Say it till the truth gets tired

Say it louder

Say it slower

Say it till I'm uninspired

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Every mouth a proclamation

Limp contagion

Limp persuasion

Feed me noise and call it formation

Post-Chorus

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm
