THE KLEZMATICS - An Undoing World
Album - Possessed (1997)
An Undoing World
By the time we’re done with dancing,
Elsewhere darling you’ll be glancing
And the night’s a river-torrent tearing us apart.
Merely melody entwined us,
Easily the ties that bind us
Break in fibrillations of the heart.
Don’t cry out or cling in terror
Darling that’s a fatal error
Clinging to a somebody you thought you knew was yours.
Dispossession by attrition is a permanent condition
That the wretched modern world endure
