Karma Debt

Here we are in the orchestra

A Bullet in our breath

We hold our horns like credit cards

and hope to pay the rent

But when the war is done

and we've finished all our songs

Will they offset the colossal karma debt?

The ebony and the ivory

Talked politics again

Then they sat and chewed the scenery

Til there was nothing left

But will all their peace accords

Amount to something more or something less

Than wasted breath?

I'd give it all

For a legacy of love

Here we are in the orchestra

A Bullet in our breath

We hold our horns like credit cards

and hope to pay the rent

But when the war is done

and we've finished all our songs

Will they offset the colossal karma debt?

Perfect background music for Sat night alone with Carlo so very long overdue... sipping, sewing and embracing good karmic vibrations.

The track sounds great and the chorus joins at the right time. Did not hear about her before but she is a delightful surprise

I love the Mynabirds, which is saying something considering my relationship with the recent, the new and the contemporary is quite strained (most of the music I like easily predates 1995, or is by performers who started their careers well before then) This new album is really intriguing, and this song really gets me: it actually sounds like it's channeling NIN's Closer, though it chooses in its own direction and pursues it. Excellent!
