Tell Me - Thinking Fellers Union Local 282

The work it takes to uncover the truth

Is magnified by the need for the struggle

The work it takes to see things as they are is a lie

I see danger, trouble

Forget what we said before

The air is wet, hangs close to the street

Just walk — half awake

Just walk — half asleep

This is real

This is love, not lust

Picked it up burning hot, put it in my pocket

Started to rot, scrape off the mold

It shines in the light

Threw it away 'cause it didn’t look right

Now I’m on all fours digging

Through the sand

Looking for the treasure

I once carried in my hand

Wait a minute

I forget what you said

Tell me, sing to me

About your holy fucking experience

Picked it up burning hot, put it in my pocket

Started to rot, scrape off the mold

It shines in the light

Threw it away 'cause it didn’t look right

Now I’m on all fours digging

Through the sand

Looking for the treasure

I once carried in my hand
