The Mountain Goats — We Shall All Be Healed

Left home in a blur, arrived in the light Everything's going to be alright Came back to the place where it all flared up Just to check if the reservoir still bore the mark of the drought Up to 13th and Taylor, checked my pulse You weren't there, and neither was anybody else Stared down demons, came back breathing No real point in ever leaving Tracy and Ivory and Brad and me too We will see some great miracle before the night is through Slipped in through the entrance, stood in the hall Left my fingerprints on the elevator wall Went to my old room, stood outside it a minute Wondering if parts of me were still there in it Who can say it won't be me? You are gone now and I am free Wesley and Quinn and Devin and you We will all be fixed up as good as new And I stared at the number 10 on my old apartment's door There's one ghost that can't bite me anymore And some day we will all feel at home in our new skin And some day we will all never be alone again When the sun comes up and the night has passed We shall all be healed at last, at last, at last
