[Lyric] Shorthand Mythology For Sam Shepard (Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster)

[Verse 1]
I wish I was an animal
Unburdened by the bonds
Of blood and sex and wine
Unmarried to my kind
Displaced and overjoyed
Content to live as sport
To forces I can't see
That dominate me

[Verse 2]
You sang Italian arias
Across the burning field
As fall was calling all of us
To make accounts and kneel
Now dreamt a thousand orchestras
Played blues in minor keys
But I never meant to bore you
By living quietly

[Verse 3]
Luck is falling on the left hand side of chance, and luck
Is falling past my head
Luck is crashing through the trees
Everyone's complaining, luck
Misunderstanding
