Harborview Hospital

I walked by harborview hospital

I heard the agnus dei

oh sister of mercy

Ive been gone too long to say

and all around this place i was a sad disgracetheyre singing, theyre singing

away up on the hill

theyre building, theyre building

a mystical union, beautiful and still

but down here in the dirt theyll say it doesnt hurtthe devils ascended

upon some crystal wings

in the citadel lightning

splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends

and with a vacant stare ill leave a flower theretheyre riding, theyre riding

a hellhound down the hill

theyre sinking, theyre sinking

into the ocean, beautiful and still

and yet its hard to leave in wealth or poverty
