Finger Foods and Photo Albums

from Big Sal and The Computers by Yellow Jacket Avenger

/

lyrics

Food on the table for fingers and mouths
and a cake with the figure standing on the top
and photo albums on the table
the people between the covers
move around in their scenery but cannot touch
their relatives on the next page

And meanwhile people stare at their feet
and wonder if they'll move
to a spot in the room
where there's less light

And all across the town there is a collection of items
they're wrapped in newspaper and shelved in basements
and many years from now they'll be shown to children
who won't know what they're for
a compass, a medal and a trumpet

In the street a storm is moving
and we watch the people grasp
their umbrellas as they are lifted
up over the buildings
and this reminds them of something
it's the closest they'll get to a memory
and our friends in the photos
dry their hair by the window.
