Vaccination Scar - The Tragically Hip

So the chemistry's set

And I'm not the saddest cheerleader

To forget the American word

For the gang in the head

That dwindles 'til no members

When the mystery's met

The sky looks threatened

Heading home in the dust

Singing 'Life is forgetting'

Good enough for the frivolous

There's one thing I remember

Is this tear on your bare shoulder

This little silver boulder

This slowly falling star

We're rolling so what

Never getting older where

The moon-shocked curtains part

The start of enough

A tear dropped in a vaccination scar

I'll tell ya if I'm able

That is I'll tell ya like it is

He went down like a bad card table

Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Swimming on a bit

Stop you're treading water

As the sun assimilated the words

For lighthouse fire

Burning down to ember's end

The mystery met

Sky just reddened

Heading home under dusk

Is 'Life just forgetting'

Another word for frivolous

Little silver boulder

Silence from Mars

For the heart of enough

Or a teardrop in a vaccination scar

Wherever you are scar
