lyrics
Along the Mason-Dixon line,
a lover’s quarrel ends
so a vulgar sibling rivalry
can finally take its place.
And I—a non-sectarian—
whose fun is to make amends—
I’m lost, alone and lonely,
and dreaming
of your face.
Up from land, up from dirty land.
The land where all the love
you’ve lost
will soon be laid to rest.
And there goes fine Paulinus,
wandering empire’s finest.
Bohos never change!
But we know water creeps on
Nola’s beaches
past the lurid breakers,
where the rapids meet the Gulf,
where the Mississippi River splits
and greens the Outer Shelf.
There’s a blond and preening
Repo Man,
all cool unchristian cant,
on the last Southeastern island
humming bebop to himself.
Up from land, up from dirty land.
The land where all the love
you’ve lost
will soon be laid to rest.
And those post hoc diviners
talk of Lot’s but not Aquinas.
Pray cum grain of salt
and vibe like Philistines,
so let’s not waste time
whaling on the Ouachita
and swearing at the bream.
You’ll lie with something sinister
or die in club passim.
Up from land, up from dirty land.
The land where all the love
you’ve lost
will soon be laid to rest.
